The lessons we can still learn from my friend and former Congressman Ron Dellums

In these tough political times, I find myself returning to a line from Norman Maclean’s story "A River Runs Through It": "We can love completely what we cannot completely understand." Those words serve as a reminder of past failures and a guide for a better future. But they also remind me of a friend whose path I was once lucky enough to cross.

We agreed on few things politically, but that wasn’t the point. As he did with so many of the constituents he represented for a generation in Berkeley and across the East Bay, Ron Dellums touched my life in ways he never knew.
