Dan Quayle, former Vice President of the United States, was honored Wednesday,
Sept. 10, at a ceremony attended by over 800 people including ASA President
Lou Schwartz. A bust of Vice President Quayle was unveiled and it will
stand alongside other Vice Presidents in the Capitol Rotunda, in Washington,
DC.
Quayle was a guest at the 6th
annual ASA Hall of Fame Dinner in November of 1990 where he presented
the ASA “Hero of the Year” award to David Opont, a young man
who was almost burned to death because he wouldn’t take drugs. He
has been a supporter of the ASA ever since.
Also attending the
ceremony was former President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney,
Secretary of State Colin Powell, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Democratic
Minority Leader Tom Daschle, Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut and former
Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi, among others.
