Leman Family, December 1997
|
My wife Carolyn and our children are my most
important priorities. When I consider legislation,
I weigh its impact on them and other families and
look for ways to strengthen the family.
Strong families are the cornerstone of our culture.
Good parents provide a solid foundation for their
children, built on love, respect and firm but
gentle guidance. I appreciate the foundation that
my mother and father established for me. Carolyn
and I are likewise investing in our three
children.
