In a fitting tribute on Election Day, Tony Sampas shares some photos from the permanent exhibition at UMass Lowell’s Tsongas Center.

“Beyond individual achievement and failure, there is common purpose, shared and inescapable. It is not purpose derived from legislative mandates. It is genetic. It resides in every being because it is the continuance of that being. It is the sacredness of generational responsibility. To be given life and to ensure that life passes on, enhanced, cherished, protected.” —Paul E. Tsongas, “Journey of Purpose,” 1995

    Paul was a reputable politician and a good man. His wife clearly doesn’t have the qualifications to be given another term in office. Your feeble attempt to connect the two on the day of the election won’t work this time.
