2009 legislative session kicks off with help of SOP alum
Virginia Del. Harvey B. Morgan (B.S. ’55) served as moderator for the Commonwealth Prayer Breakfast Jan. 14 at the Greater Richmond
Convention Center.
Morgan, R-98th District, was joined “up front” by Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, Lt. Gov. William T. Bolling, Attorney General
Robert F. McDonnell and others. Keynote speaker Dr. Francis S. Collins -- a native Virginian and former director of the National Human
Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes of Health -- spoke on “The Harmony of Science and Faith,” how science and religion intertwine.
The Norfolk State University Spartan Elite chorale performed. Linda Harding, Morgan’s legislative aide, reports that Collins closed the event
by taking up the guitar and leading the audience in a hymn, “Praise the Source of Faith and Learning.”
Morgan, who has been a member of the House of Delegates since 1980, represents the counties of Essex, Gloucester, Mathews and Middlesex, as well as
parts of King and Queen and King William.
