alexander last week. lamar is the perfect example of what a united states senator should be. before i was wet behind wet behs in the senate, my first week here, lamar invited me and my wife jill to dinner. there it began, jill and lamar s wife honey became fast friends and lamar and i built the kind of friendship that is essential in the senate. we worked together to get things done for our states, bolstering our national laboratories and conserving our great outdoors. something else we shared was mario, our barber in the barber shop and to be honest, that is the best place to learn about the senate, sitting in mario s chair. friendships like i have with lamar and mario is what i will miss most about the senate, the friendships. and because as any good senator will tell you, friendships are what gets you over the finish line. i will cherish the friendships i forged over the last 12 years, i will miss serving the people of new mexico and congress, the greatest honor of my life
