House Speaker Lawerence Denney welcomed a visitor back to the House chamber today – former Speaker Tom Boyd. Denney noted that Boyd was speaker when Denney started as a freshman lawmaker, and welcomed Boyd to the new tighter temporary quarters, in which Boyd sat wedged into a small back corner. Referring to the gracious “well” area that curved around the front of the speaker’s desk in the state capitol, Denney commented, “The well has shrunk, and it’s now just a small pool.”
