The bumper sticker in the fall of 1972 was short and simple..."Robert Morgan Keeps His Promises".

Running for and winning re-election as North Carolina's popular Attorney General, Robert Morgan was at the pinnacle of his political success.

His political secret was the same as his personal one...he kept his promises, all his life.

He was Attorney General, United States Senator, Director of the SBI, lawyer, and an unconditional friend to me and countless others, in good times and bad.

He was a Man for all Seasons and kept his promises and his word. He made tough political decisions that were not always popular. He rarely backed down.

He tried his best, and when that was not good enough, he would try again. He never gave up.

These are my personal reflections of those times.
