President Ayers Remarks to International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Convention - 9/22/2011
I’m proud to say I gained my values from this Brotherhood, and from the wisest and most dedicated man I have ever known. Ed Hill. Ed has been my best friend and has mentored me throughout a good part of my career. He is always the voice of reason and, as all of you know, he is a principled man never reluctant to take a difficult stand if he feels it will benefit the Brotherhood. He is a devout Christian who lives his life according to Christian teachings, and we have all benefited from that.
