Grandma's House

We have received word that Harry Wiggins, 71, of Kansas City has passed away due to stomach cancer. Harry Wiggins was an anomaly in politics, as he served in the Missouri Senate from 1974 to 2002, and never once missed a roll call vote. He was the Kansas City chairman for the 1960 Kennedy presidential campaign, and was appointed assistant U.S. attorney by Robert Kennedy in 1961. He is responsible for the enactment of the 911 emergency system in Missouri, establishing Parents as Teachers, and setting laws providing for the prosecution of child pornographers. All in all, the kind of politician, Democrat or Republican, we could use a lot more of. He will be missed.
