Former Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan. , and his wife, former Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-NC, leave the memorial service for Jack Kemp at National Cathedral in Washington, Friday, May 8, 2009. Kemp, a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills football team in the 1960s, became a star in the Republican Party as a member of Congress from Buffalo, NY, aligning himself with the conservative values of President Ronald Reagan who made Kemp secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Dole, the GOP presidential nominee in 1996, brought Kemp on as his vice-presidential running mate but lost the election to the Democrats giving President Bill Clinton a second term.
