Accomplishments of Henry Bellmon and Carl Albert:
Henry Bellmon: In an interview, Henry Bellmon said, "Politics is an opportunity to serve-one of the best ways to contribute." The political history of Bellmon has been revised. First Democrat, he captured the role of governor, first holding two United States.
He was the first of sides to win concessions without succession. And he's the only Oklahoman to resign from the governor's house and the Senate willingly. Yet his record is much more than personal accomplishments, especially in the period just ended.
Carl Albert: Albert was the Counsel of the Far East Air Service Division of the Judge Advocate General Corps. He received a Bronze Star Medal and other awards, joining the Army in 1946 as a lieutenant colonel. After the war, he served in the Army Reserve and resigned from colonel rank in 1968.
