WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Angus King (I-Maine) released the following statement today on the passing of former Maine State Legislator Neil Rolde:

            “Neil was a wonderful friend and a dedicated public servant,” Senator King said. “I always admired his deep and abiding love of history and strived to learn from it whenever I could.

He will be dearly missed.”
