on a personal note, let me say this about tim massinelli. i consider him a friend. when i was a 27-year-old freshman representative, i was determined to learn the rules, and tim was my teacher. you know the old saying that there is no such thing as a dumb question. well, i put that to the test a few times, but he was a mentor, a counselor, a father figure, and he just took care of me. truthfully, he made himself available to anybody who needed anything. i suspect that same commitment that he has to others and to the institution that he loves makes him the best deacon our lady of the holy souls catholic church has ever had. he has helped me in many, many ways over the years, but i think the biggest favor he ever did for me was when he told me that his son randy would be a good hire in the attorney general's office. now, we hired a lot of good people in that office, but everybody agrees that randy massinelli was the best hire i ever made, and he is still the best hire i ever made. the qualities that make randy so valuable to others were ingrained in him by tim massinel
