I saw him speak at a conference once. This was after one of the times he had run for Prez so he had a lot of exposure on Sunday morning political shows recently and I was thinking of heading outside and grabbing a bite to eat while he spoke (similar to when the bass solo starts at a concert and you figure it's a good time to go stand in the beer line).
Well, he started speaking and he was very funny and engaging, telling stories and anecdotes. I was wondering "Where in the Hell was this Bob Dole during the campaign? We got stuck with the boring, crusty Dole. This guy was killing it!".
I met him afterward and he had the ubiquitous pen in his injured hand. We chatted some small talk and he was a very down to earth, sincere guy.
RIP Mr. Dole.
