This letter appeared in The Oregonian Nov. 3, 1982, two months before Tom McCall's passing: "My 15-year-old daughter, Elena, was struck by an automobile and suffered multiple fractures of the leg and pelvis. She will be confined in the hospital for many weeks. However, a great humanitarian who also is extremely ill, took time to send her a card and a box of candy. Former Gov. Tom McCall could see beyond his own suffering and make a younger very happy. She will never forget his kindness, and neither will I. I now fully understand why the people of Oregon have the same respect for McCall that his fellow governors had for him when he served in that office.--David F. Cargo, Portland
