In remembrance of Senator Bob Dole
The Thornburgh Family sends condolences to Elizabeth Dole on the death of Bob Dole, her beloved husband. Senator Bob Dole was a close friend of my husband, Governor Dick Thornburgh, who died a year ago. Both men stand in the disability community for tenacity, compassion and common sense. Elizabeth Dole and the Dole family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Message from the Governor
The Forum was established at the late Dick Thornburgh’s Law School alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh. In connection with the Dick Thornburgh Papers held by the University's Hillman Library, the Forum reflects his experiences in public life. It is in intended to foster discourse on issues vital to the preservation of our democratic system and the Rule of Law upon which that system depends.
Special thanks are due to Chancellor Emeritus Mark Nordenberg who serves as the Director of the Dick Thornburgh Forum and has been unstinting in support of this effort since its inception. In addition, many others have provided time, resources and dedication to this undertaking.
