Dean Statement on the Death of Violet Coffin
March 31, 2008
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement on the death of former Vermont Democratic Party Chair Violet Coffin:
"From the day we first met nearly 30 years ago, I was impressed with how sensible and levelheaded Vi Coffin was, and how deeply she cared for her fellow citizens. Vi was a loyal Vermonter who single-handedly kept the State Democratic Party together during her tenure as Chairwoman, and whose work touched the lives of countless others. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband Ned and her family today, and I join them in mourning her loss."
