John Ward has examined an aspect of Winthrop Rockefeller's life that only family and close friends have seen. We all know that he was rich and that he was generous. Just how generous is a stunning revelation. Ward has given us still another reason to appreciate this extraordinary man.
John Ward has examined an aspect of Winthrop Rockefeller's life that only family and close friends have seen. We all know that he was rich and that he was generous. Just how generous is a stunning revelation. Ward has given us still another reason to appreciate this extraordinary man. Winthrop Rockefeller was a man for the times. As governor, he bravely championed civil rights--which was almost political suicide--and ultimately changed social thought in Arkansas. His breaking of new ground in so many areas made my task as his successor much easier. His courage and integrity set a higher political tone that has continued to date and from which all Arkansans have benefited. --Dale Bumpers, former governor and U.S. senator from Arkansas, and author of The Best Lawyer in a One-Lawyer Town John Ward has examined an aspect of Winthrop Rockefeller's life that only family and close friends have seen.
