Russell Train has died at 92

Story here. Train, a Republican in the Nixon administration, was the father of the EPA, which was created by Nixon and fully supported by Gerald Ford, who appointed Train the director.

Any who believe the GOP has not changed over the years might mull this over.

i was just reading about him. the book is about air pollution and how people die, or get long term health troubles from it.

it is amazing to think that the epa was started by republicans and now repeal! deregulate!

he did a lot of good for the people of the usa and the world.

may his memory be eternal.
