MORRIS UDALL
Relatively youthful photo in suit and tie
Photograph inscribed and signed: "For Doug/with best/wishes/Mo Udall".
B/w, 8x10. When Stuart Udall resigned his seat in Congress in 1961 to become
Kennedy's Secretary of the Interior, he was succeeded by his brother Morris
"Mo" Udall (1922-1998) who represented his Arizona district for three
decades (1961-1991). Udall, a liberal Democrat who emphasized environmental
protection and campaign finance reform, was known for his self-deprecating sense
of humor, often called "Lincolnesque." After a conservative pundit called him
Too Funny to Be President, he used that title for his autobiography.
Udall sought the Presidential nomination in 1976, finishing second to Jimmy
Carter in convention delegates. Mo Udall was presented the Presidential
Medal of Freedom by President Clinton in 1996. When Udall, terminally ill
with Parkinson's Disease, was hospitalized near the end of his life, one of his
few frequent visitors was longtime political adversary and close friend Senator
John McCain. In 2008, Udall's son Mark and nephew Tom were both elected to
the US Senate. Fine condition.
