To the Editor:
I wish to take this opportunity to endorse former State Senator Ron Volesky of Huron, for induction into the South Dakota Hall of Fame.
I remember Ron very well as a passionate state legislator and a very accomplished trial lawyer across this state, spanning many decades.
I believe that his abilities as an orator, lawyer, legislator and his positive impact on this state clearly qualify him for induction into the S.D. Hall of Fame.
Ron Volesky has an inspiring story that embodies the American dream. He was born into poverty on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Through hard work, ambition and the force of his personality, he graduated from Harvard, became an accomplished trial lawyer, served 16 years in the state legislature – both as a Republican and Democrat – and was a candidate for the U.S. Congress, S.D. Governor and was three-times nominated for Attorney General of South Dakota.
Mr. Volesky is one of the most talented public speakers that I have ever seen.
I understand that he is in poor health, and would like to see him inducted as his health continues to fail.
I hope he can be inducted while he is still alive, because of the important impact he has made on many people across out great state.
