One of those old-style Dems with a heart… You may remember Ron Romine PhD in political science from The University of South Carolina and became a distinguished professor of American Government and Constitutional Law at USC-Upstate from 1975 until he retired in 2007. Ronald is a Vietnam Veteran. He served a two-year tour of duty in the United States Army, returned to the States to do graduate work in English at The University of Kentucky, and then returned to active service from 1965 to 1971, where he served as an artillery battery commander. He remained in the Army Reserve until 1990 and retired with the rank of Colonel. He was my friend thought you were a very sharp guy.
