It's pretty amazing

It's pretty amazing to all of us in the family that so much has been created or named after him. There's even a trail :)

Lawton Chiles IV

It is indeed, amazing what he has done for our state. Unfortuantely, your anecdotes don't particularly suit Wikipedia, since it violates a couple of items listed in What Wikipedia is not. Mariana 13:43, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I completely concur and back Mariana's revert. Rashad9607 19:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Lawton Chiles International House

There is a building at the National Institutes of Health named for Chiles. It was dedicated in 1998 and houses the NIH Fogarty International Center. Is it worth a mention in this article? [1] —Wrathchild ^(talk) 18:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Lethal Injection
