A Governor Keeps His Word in a Big Way

Yes, you did hear that right. A politician not only kept his word, but went out of his way to do it...

My brother, Jeff, was invited by a friend to attend a Town Hall Meeting where Utah Governor Gary Herbert, and Lt. Governor Spencer Cox were in attendance. After the meeting, Jeff's friend introduced him to the Governor. The two of them hit it off quickly, and enjoyed a quick chat before deciding to have a picture taken together. There were dozens of people waiting to talk to the Governor,and by the time Jeff had his camera out and ready to go, someone had already started to talk to him. He waited a moment, but another person stepped in to speak with the Governor. Realizing, with the size of the crowd, he would most likely not get another chance to have the photo taken, Jeff decided to just go home. 45 minutes later, the doorbell to his house rang, and on the other side of the door was Governor Herbert, his body guards, and even a member of his staff! The Governor explained he came to take the pictures they had not had the chance to take earlier. Not only did he take pictures, but he also stayed and visited with Jeff and his family for about 30 minutes, including meeting Jeff's daughter and brand new grandson. Jeff recounted it as an amazing experience, and not one he will soon forget. Thank you, Governor Herbert, for reminding us that not all politicians are crooked and tainted (as we are so often led to believe), and that there still are many out there who are making an effort to do good things and keep their promises.
