Hubert Humphrey was a U.S. Senator from Minnesota 1949-1964. He was Vice President under Lyndon Baines Johnson 1965-1969. He ran for President against Nixon and lost in 1968 - Humphrey's running mate was Senator Edmund Muskie from Maine.

Humphrey was reelected as a Senator from Minnesota, and served from January 1971 until he died in 1978. His wife, Muriel, succeeded him.

I think Hubert Humphrey was one of the most admirable people ever to serve in American politics.
