About this title

Synopsis

Every now and then someone with special qualities comes along and touches the lives of many people. Such a person was Congressman Silvio O. Conte who represented Western Massachusetts from 1959 until 1991. His service was marked by a rare combination of humanity, passion and humor. He gracefully bridged the gap between Washington's Beltway and the small towns and cities of the Berkshire hills of Western Massachusetts. Although always a member of the minority party, his hard work and ability to compromise allowed him to be a designer and strong supporter of many programs to improve education, environment, medical research and infrastructure. Despite long service in the Republican leadership and its many responsibilities in Washington, Silvio Conte managed to build a strong personal connection with his constituents. He was deeply loved and admired by those whom he represented. Silvio is a brief portrait to give the reader a little of the flavor of this great American political figures who brought to life the Founding Fathers' goal of giving good representation to the people.

About the Author

PETER E. LYNCH is a graduate of Brown University and a career railroader who worked with Congressman Conte on a railroad rehabilitation project. Silvio is his first book. He lives in Old Saybrook, Connecticut with his wife, Kathryn, and daughter, Kelley.
