“I don t want to live in the kind of world where we don t look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I can’t change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit.”
Perhaps writer Charles de Lint wasn’t referring to Anthony Hensley when he wrote this, but his quote aptly describes the senator’s 44-year tenure serving his neighbors in the 58th House District and the 19th Senatorial District of the Kansas Legislature.
While this tenure set a state record most likely never to be broken, Sen. Hensley’s substantial impact on the people of Kansas surpasses any record of years served.
