loss and gratitude are immense. i got to know harry when i came to the senate in 1999. we couldn t have been more different. there was me, a brash jewish kid out of brooklyn, and there was harry, a soft spoken mormon from searchlight. we were a match made in heaven. i quickly learned that even though harry talked softly, what he said carried the force of thunder. he was honest. he was direct. and he was original. i love the story back in 2012. during the democratic national convention in charlotte, harry summoned me to his hotel room late one night. i rushed over and saw landra in the room, but before i could say anything, harry pulled me aside into the small little bathroom. we were right on top of each other.
