Richard Cates

The fact that Bob Dylan got a Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama Tuesday obscured my vision, and it wasn't until I read the full list in the NY Times this morning that I realized a Wisconsin native, John Doar, was also a recipient.

I can't claim to know Doar personallly, but I do recall writing about him for the Wisconsin State Journal when he was named to head the House impeachment investigation of Richard Nixon in December 1973.
