    I was surprised how much he knew about me and my family when we had our little chat. The entire conversation was about me and what I wanted to do with my life.

    He gave a talk in a class I was in during the 2004 election. Somebody asked him what skill was most important in politics. He said listening without hesitation.

    Great podcast remembrance I am only halfway through. I failed to appreciate Governor Graham's accomplishments, both environmentally and in developing technology here. I did not realize, and I haven't confirmed what they say, but the personal computer was invented by a UF grad here in Florida in Boca Raton at a facility Graham helped bring in
