Such was not the case with John Dingell who died at 92 and has been roundly remembered by many. He went to Washington with his father, John, Sr. when he was elected to Congress in 1932 in the Roosevelt landslide. Upon the death of his father, John was elected to that same seat, representing the mostly working-class district located in Southeast Michigan. You always knew where you stood with John Dingell. My grandfather, who owned a weekly newspaper in Dingell’s district, knew Dingell, Sr and of course John, Jr.
