RE: Former Senator John C. Danforth To Speak At MBC
Former Senator John C. Danforth To Speak At MBC
November 23, 1999
Missouri Baptist College is pleased to present former United States Senator, John C. (Jack) Danforth to speak at MBC’s Delozier Chapel, December 2, 1999 at 11AM. A question and answer session will immediately follow the address.
Danforth represented the State of Missouri in the United States Senate for 18 years. Prior to his retirement from the Senate at the end of 1994, Danforth ranked 21st in seniority among the 100 senators and served on three key committees: the Committee on Finance; Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation; and the Select Committee on Intelligence.
U.S. News & World Report singled out Danforth as an example of excellence in government. David Broder, widely respected reporter and political analyst for the Washington Post, called Danforth a conspicuous example of hard work, commitment to principle and effectiveness.
While in the Senate, Danforth was active in numerous efforts important to the State and nation including those to reign in the unbridled growth of entitlements, reduce the deficit, encourage long-term economic growth, improve education, reduce hunger and malnutrition throughout the world, and increase production of affordable housing.
Danforth is also ordained to the clergy of the Episcopal Church and is associate priest at the Church of the Holy Communion in University City. He and his wife, the former Sally Dobson of St. Louis, live in St. Louis County. They have five children and seven grandchildren.
If you are a member of the Press and you would like to attend, please contact Nicole Carnoske, Missouri Baptist College Public Relations Office, at (314) 392-2305. Thank you.
