T. Loren was a good conservative and one of my predecessors in District 4. He served 18 straight years and I don’t think he was ever beaten in an election. I remembered well the “shortest route” that he showed me from Deuel County to Pierre when riding with him and Gladys to a GOP meeting back in the 90’s.
