With Mock Con much on our minds, we also enjoyed seeing the spotlight shine on two alumni who have distinguished themselves with lengthy careers in politics: Lacey Putney ’50, ’57L, left, and John W. Warner ’49. The date: Jan. 18. The place: Virginia House of Delegates. The occasion: Recognition of Putney’s 51st legislative session, making him the longest-serving member of that body. Warner, who retired from the U.S. Senate after 30 years, surprised his old friend and received the rare opportunity to address the delegates. No one was surprised that both men received lengthy standing ovations.
