In remembrance of Senator Bob Dole | The Dick Thornburgh Forum for Law & Public Policy

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.

Governor Thornburgh

The Dick Thornburgh Forum for Law & Public Policy was established in 2007 at the late Dick Thornburgh’s Law School alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh. In conjunction with the Dick Thornburgh Papers held by the University's Hillman Library, the Forum reflects Dick's lifelong work in public service. The Forum 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 to Chancellor Emeritus Mark Nordenberg who serves as the Director of the Dick Thornburgh Forum who has supported this effort since its inception, as well as to many others who have provided their time and resources and dedication throughout the years.
