As if that weren’t enough to fill up his schedule

Larry McClendon's Memorable Journey

Tommy Horton

As if that weren't enough to fill up his schedule, he is also a producer and ginner in Marianna, Ark. As you'll see after reading our cover story on pages 14, 16 and 17, Larry has an infectious smile and always sees the glass as half full. In other words, it is hard for him to be anything but upbeat about the future.

This kind of attitude comes from a cotton leader who was simply trying to make a contribution to the industry he loves. However, take it from those who worked with him during 2008. He made more than a contribution. His pragmatic and cool-headed demeanor served him well when he had face-to-face meetings with adversaries and friends on Capitol Hill.

Whether he was in Geneva, Switzerland, at a WTO meeting or making countless courtesy calls in the Senate and House, he found common ground in his conversations. Maybe it's that disarming, easy-going Arkansas personality. Whatever it was, it worked.
