Sarge Reynolds: In The Time of His Life

Sarge Reynolds: In The Time of His Life is a collection of stories about J. Sargeant Reynolds, lieutenant governor of Virginia from 1970 until his untimely death in 1971. Those who remember Sarge Reynolds know that he was no ordinary young man. Heir to the Reynolds Metals Co. fortune, Reynolds was a rarity in politics -- loved by many, feared by some and respected by most. He had charm and ability, as well as potential and ambition -- plus wealth and a family name. He was elected state lieutenant governor in 1969, took office in 1970 and died in 1971, in his prime, at the age of 34, after illness -- an inoperable brain tumor -- intervened.
