I am a native Georgian and once I got back from service in Vietnam in 1971, I settled in the 5th District in Atlanta, Georgia. I was there when he ran for Congress the first time in 1977 to replace Andrew Young who was named to be UN Ambassador under Carter. Young's replacement was selected in an open primary that featured two future US Senators: Wyche Fowler and Paul Coverdell. Fowler won with Lewis finishing well back. I voted for Coverdell but learned to respect Lewis as I often respected battlers. We disagreed on most issues but he was a solid citizen and I respected him.
