Fred Thompson addresses the audience at TCSW, 4-5-11, in Frankiln, TN.

April 5, 2011 – Former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson gave the keynote address at the 98th meeting of The Tennessee Conference on Social Welfare. Among his topics were fairness as it relates to limitations on malpractice lawsuits. You can view my report of his speech on You Tube. I was able to catch up with him briefly after his presentation. Although I expected to record our conversation, I was thrown a curve ball when he did not seem to confidently remember a quote that I had attributed to him. Therefore I will not repeat the quote here – but his response was, “Yeah,  that sounds like something I might have said”.  I did not feel comfortable asking him to elaborate on the quote. (But, I was so sure that I heard him say the quote on TV).  Oh well, a moment lost and a lesson learned. Next time, I’ll be better prepared with a back up question. I fully expected other media outlets to cover his 25 minute presentation.  I am referring to this as exclusive video for Anthony – Denmark Communications until proven otherwise. I will be giving TCSW a larger video to post on their website. So be sure to look for it at www.tcsw.org some time in the near future.

Mr. Thompson served the State of Tennessee in the United States Senate from 1994 to 2003. To more information about his many roles as a senator, including testimony for “…Establishing a Department of Homeland Security, please go to www.senate.gov.
