I met Holton. He had a lot more sense than his son.

I worked for Holton in his campaigns. I didn't get to know his SON. Just his daughter and son-in-law...
Good people all.

Re: Just a little info ..
He was indeed ..from what I've been told......never met him ..
..here's some more info:
Mills Godwin was born in Nansemond County and educated at the Norfolk division of The College of William and Mary, now Old Dominion University. He then graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1938. Godwin served in the Virginia State Senate between 1952 and 1962 and was the Lieutenant Governor between 1962 and 1966. In the state senate, Godwin was initially one of the leaders of the segregationist policy of "massive resistance," which aimed to prevent the implementation of federal court decisions such as Brown v. the Board of Education; however, his position became more moderate in the 1960s. Godwin served as Governor of Virginia from 1966 to 1970 and from 1974 to 1978. He is the only governor in the history of the United States to be elected as both a Republican and Democrat.
