Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life: Of Theodore Medad Pomeroy, 1824-1905 Twice was he mayor of his city, was also State Senator and received an exceedingly complimentary vote for gubernatorial nomination at Saratoga in 1879. I begin the story of my father´s life in this way to call your attention to the fact that although he rose to some prominence in the affairs of the nation he earned by downright hard work all that came to him. Starting his active life with a good education he continued active and unusually well informed to the end. He never lost his insight into public affairs, was always interested in the national, state and local politics and the changing conditions in politics and in business. His business ideas were modern and his methods were modern. He was interested in scientific discoveries and possibilities, in all lines of progress and ever hopeful of the future. He was fond of young people and interesting to them. My friends were genuine friends of his and on his visits to me in Buffalo if I asked him what he wanted to do, he would say, "Whatever you would do if I were not here." He would go to my office, lunch with my friends, go to young men´s clubs or help me plant trees on a new farm with as much interest as I could have.
