Representative Kretz moved adoption of HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 4605

Representatives Kretz, Sullivan, Kristiansen, Moeller, Smith, Hunt, Walsh and Santos spoke in favor of the adoption of the resolution.

Representative Kretz: “Thank you Madame Speaker. I guess one of the true measures of a man is when they marry up and Allen certainly did that. It’s so good to see Sharon up there. We appreciate not just Allen but Sharon, what a great couple of people to have around here, what an example for all of us. I think the biggest lesson I learned from Allen was respect for this institution and he has constant respect for it. I think back to my freshman year, and one of the things that stuck with me ever since I’ve been here, and probably most strongly, was a meeting we had with all the freshman, with Sid Snyder and Vito Chiechi. They spent the evening talking about respect for the institution and what a privilege to hear two men like that, instill in us what we need to know and the respect for the institution, as well as the people of the institution. I put Allen in with the same category, I’ve learned so much from him in the last eight years and it’s a tough job. I think about a job that requires you to come in here early in the morning and often times your first two conversations are with Richard DeBolt and Cathy Maynard, you’d better have your coffee before you get into the office. I think maybe even more than this side, you guys should be very thankful he has been here, at least in my time here, he has spent more time protecting you than he did us, I think. Believe it or not we would occasionally come up with some schemes, things are flying fast and hard, tensions are high and we would occasionally cook up some kind of a plot to do on the floor, and what I liked about Allen was that he never told me no. He would sit there and look at me and then say something like, “This may seem like a really good idea” and then he would say, “it even may even be a lot of fun but I think you should really think about this first.” Then he would go through the reasons and what he always came back to was respect for the institution. Allen, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the things you have taught all of us and the amazing balance you have had in making this place go every day, I know everyone respects you for that and I just thank you for your friendship. Thank you.”

Representative Sullivan: “Thank you Madame Speaker. Echoing some of the sentiments already expressed, and I want to mostly thank you for keeping the good gentleman from the 7th from doing any of those stupid things he mentioned. When I was preparing remarks today I was, in addition to serving here, for eight years as a State Legislator, I was a staffer here for a number of years, and I ran into Allen a few times but didn’t have much interaction, but I had a lot more interaction with his wife Sharon. So when I was trying to think about what to say today I thought who knows Allen better than anyone? I got a few stories from Sharon that I thought might be interesting to share. One thing I didn’t realize was that at one point Allens’ nickname was “Dogbite”. Back when he was a legislative staffer here in 1979, there was a bill that would give one free bite of liability to any dog owner and there was a legislator here that took offense to that legislation and asked Allen to draft a few amendments and I guess there was over one hundred in total or more. After that, there were people who referred to Allen as “Dogbite”, they didn’t actually know his name, they just called him “Dogbite”, that actually stuck for quite a while is my understanding. As a matter of fact it is my understanding that when his son Matt was born he was referred to as “Puppybite” for a little while. You know, through the years I think people counted on Allen to solve more problems and he became more of an institution within this institution and solved problems on a daily basis. Except for one situation that occurred, I guess, back when Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the U.S. House and he came here. Clyde Ballard was the Speaker and Newt came here to give a speech and everyone was prepared and it was an exciting time, the pomp and circumstance everything led up to the point he was going to speak and the microphones went dead. Speaker Ballard and Speaker Gingrich looked over at Allen and asked what should we do and Allen stood up and made a motion as if he was going to solve the problem and he went through the back door and no one saw him again. Allen, in all seriousness you truly are an institution within this institution, you will be greatly missed by everyone here. I know, from those on the other side of the aisle who have worked with you everyday, but from those on this side of the aisle, we wish you the best. You and Sharon deserve a great retirement and you are welcome back here anytime. Thank you very much Allen for your service to this institution.

Representative Kristiansen: “Thank you Madame Speaker. Allen, you are going to be missed. I still remember, it was about 12-13 years ago, I was a guest before I was even elected to office. I had one of our colleagues down here invite me to be a guest of the caucus and I’d never been down here, behind the scenes, seeing what was going on. It became very apparent very quickly that there was one man that everybody looked to for information, and that was Allen. I asked this gentleman, who was a former legislator, who is that guy over there? Everybody is asking him questions. I thought he must be Speaker of the House, I mean, everybody was going to him and he said no, that is Allen Hayward. It was said in such a way that, what? Who is this Allen Hayward guy? Is this an urban legend? Who is this guy? A couple years later I was elected to the legislature and I’ve served now for eleven years down here and he is an urban legend, but he is real. You know, Madame Speaker, you may have the majority, but we have Allen. We all have on our desk, if I may Madame Speaker, we’re not supposed to use props but I’m going to use one anyway, you can gavel me if you’d like. I think he is the only guy down here who really knows and has memorized every single page of this book. He knows the rules inside and out, he knows the parliamentary procedure inside and out and as Representative Kretz had mentioned earlier, he has talked us off several cliffs when we thought we were pretty smart, we think we’ve gotcha, and he’d say, “you know, that might sound like a great idea now, but you might regret it later.” He did talk us off a few cliffs there. I think he has been here for thirty four years and as I look around this body here I realize, there are several of you who weren’t even born when he started working here, I’m talking about the women of course, they are all young, but he brings not only knowledge to this institution, but an amazing amount of wisdom. I think there is a difference there. I think a lot of us show up here in Olympia, and we’ve got a lot of knowledge, but we may not have that in the form of wisdom in applying that knowledge. One of the things that I greatly respect about you Allen is that you have taken the knowledge that you have learned over the years, and with all of your experiences, and the wisdom that you now carry, you’ve been able to help guide us as a caucus in times that have been difficult for us. You’ve been able to help us solve problems for the State of Washington, and not just for our caucus, I think for everybody, everybody on the rostrum and Madame Speaker, I think you have had some amazing input on how this place operates. The other thing about Allen I will never forget is that he is always so doggone enthusiastic about this process, he loves this institution. If you have ever had an opportunity to spend five minutes with this gentleman you will know that he just has so much respect and enthusiasm about not only this institution, but our form of government that we have here. He has got it memorized, he knows it, and I will admit, from the minority perspective, there are very few things we can celebrate when it comes to voting on bills, but one of the things that has pleased me more than anything is to watch Allen come out from around the corner, show up on the floor, and the looks on everybody’s face on the rostrum going, uh oh, here comes Allen, what did we do wrong? He has kind of been the watchdog of this place to make sure everybody, not just ourselves, but everybody in this institution pays it the respect it is due. Allen, we love you, were going to miss you, have fun on those sunny shores, wherever you’re going to go, enjoy time with your wife and family. Thank you very much Madame Speaker.

Representative Moeller: “Thank you Madame Speaker. Allen, you may want to talk to your wife as you’re moving on your way to Ocean Shores later today and Hawaii because she shared with us a number of stories. For example, when duty called, Allen was always there, for example in 1985 when we, the Washington State Legislature hosted NCSL, Allen was assigned to crowd control. Along the Seattle waterfront there were copious amounts of seafood delicacies that were shared and we all enjoyed them of course, but particularly there was one called Tequila Shooters that Allen particularly enjoyed, he found them to be quite tasty, but he was the first to admit that the climb up the waterfront to his hotel room, a half mile away, up, up, up the hill was especially long considering that part of it was covered on his knees. I want to specifically thank you Allen for all your patience with me, I know that since I was a freshman I was trying to emulate the Speaker Pro Tem John Lovick up there, in fact a lot of my cohorts here on the floor were tired of me mouthing the words as they came out of his mouth but at the same time, I also remember you sharing with me the stops of the bus, so to speak, the orders of business and all the other intricacies of this place. For some of us, in fact, for very few of us, this place is just another place to work, but for the vast majority of us, we get to work in this place and you have taught us all about that so I thank you and I think this House thanks you.”

Representative Smith: “Thank you Madame Speaker. I rise today in support of our dear friend and colleague, Allen. You know, if I may have your permission to tell you a little story. When I was a very young bride, I happened to be living in southern California and my mom loved John Wayne. I got to talk to his secretary. We have a picture, in our family from John Wayne to my mom and when my mom died, that picture came to my house. It sits just as you enter our home. John Wayne was an American hero. My kids know about John Wayne, they all have their favorite movies in which he figured out what we needed to do and rescue those who needed rescuing and led the way for what was right and just. He was a great actor and a patriot. But you know American heroes come in a lot of packages. Allen Hayward, you are an American hero. You have inspired decades of legislators to believe in the best of this institution. You’ve taught us that the rules we abide by and our little red book, it matters. That the debates are debates around the issues that we stay focused on why we’re here. I want to thank you for that. I want to thank you that your office has been consistently, for more than thirty years, for me, for every legislator that entered it, the safest place on campus. We could count on you, your advice was sound your integrity was never questioned, your trustworthiness gave us a sense to be able to walk out your door and do what we had asked you about and to do it well and with honor and integrity. You are our American hero and I just want everyone to know that behind the scenes in the institutions that govern our nation at the state level and the federal level, are people like Allen Hayward who lead the way. When people get discouraged about politics and about the divisiveness and about the ugliness, know this, there are Allen Haywards. Investing in young legislators and old legislators for us to do our jobs well. Your experience was forged in the fires of life experiences and your education, your keen sense of justice, your love of our constitution. From that, your experience has been a guiding hand for so many of us. We have been blessed to have worked with you, we ask God’s blessing on you and Sharon and this next season of life, you will continue to inspire in another capacity, and know this, our friendship and deep admiration go with you, thanks Allen.

Representative Hunt: “Thank you Madame Speaker. Well Allen, I have waited years to do this. We’ve worked together and against each other for many years. I started out as a Senate Democratic Caucus staff member and we always knew we had these little things we’d try to slip into a bill or something and we hated Allen Hayward because we knew he would find it and we would never get it done. It’s been a wonderful friendship. You told a story at your retirement party or somebody did that when you first came here you offered to work for free. That is wasn’t about the money, it wasn’t about the job, he wanted to work in the Legislature and was willing to do it for free for a part-time job. Well, it’s been a pretty good part time job and thank you for that. I think the person who so eloquently read the resolution, I think there was a phrase in there about “appropriate feistiness”. I thought that really summed up Allen Hayward. He has been the go-to guy in the Legislature. There have been times when any of us have a question about this place or how we want it to work or what happened when, and we could go to Allen and get the answer. I think it is so important not only the quality of Allen Hayward, but the one thing we are really losing is addition to a wonderful guy and a wonderful staff member, is the institutional memory. You know where a lot of the bodies, so to speak, are buried and that’s good. You can look at us and say, “you know, that was tried 8 or 10 years ago and it didn’t work then either, and here’s why”, and that is really helpful. So, I know your smile is a little broader today and may you both have a good retirement and enjoy it well and one final thing, we went through this issue this year of where are we going to hold the Governors Ball. It was going to be Saint Martins and I sent out this angry email about that and Allen replied. He said I think this is a great idea, the last time the Governors’ Ball was at Saint Martin’s we were inaugurating a Republican Governor and we should do it again in 2013 for a Republican Governor. Well after the election was over I sent Allen an email response that said, how do you feel now? It was a two word response, “MOVE IT”. So Allen, thank you for your work, for your humor, for your friendship and don’t be a stranger, we really love and admire you and thank you for all you have done.”

Representative Walsh: “Thank you Madame Speaker and thank you Allen. I came here, this is my 21^st session and you know, I used to think, oh my God who could work here this long, and here I am entering my third decade here. It’s nice to know that someone was a little crazier than me. We appreciate that and I remember always, my former boss had a wonderful relationship with you and had so much respect for you. Any time I would have any questions that he might not be able to answer, which was pretty rare but did happen, he would say, “go talk to the smartest guy in this place”, and that was Allen, and it’s true. Not only was he the smartest guy, but probably also was able to be very humble in that position as well. I never felt, although he was sort of a God in this place, I never felt that I couldn’t just go and sit down and have a conversation with him, I was very green when I got here, I did some stupid things. I remember very distinctly we would sometimes do a Thursday night Karaoke thing and one of our members got a DUI after our Thursday evening and I remember a reporter coming to me and wanting to talk about that. One of the things I quoted at one of the locations where we held this event on a Thursday night was, ”Hell, you practically have to be drunk to get out of that place.” So what showed up on the front page the next day? That quote. I just remember kind of hanging my head and realizing I had to show that to my boss. I went and talked to Allen about that a little too. He said well, you know, people pick up on sensationalistic things and even though you say off the record, it isn’t going to work that way. He has just imparted little bits of knowledge to me over the years. I hope I’ve gotten a little smarter, I’d like to think I have some institutional memory as well, but, I don’t have much of a memory left at this age. So anyway, you and Sharon deserve each other, you guys are both wonderful, I have so enjoyed working with you. It is always with a bit of sadness when I see the great people leave this place, because there is a lot of great people, you are all great people, and I love working with you all, but it’s always so hard to see the good ones leave. Thank you Allen.”

Representative Santos: “Thank you Madame Speaker. I couldn’t pass this opportunity without saying just a few words about the service of the gentleman that we are here honoring today. The good lady from the 10^th referenced that in this line of work, what often hits the media, the front pages, your 5 o’clock news, is the divisiveness of the public debate. The partisanship of our politics and that is a part of the tradition of being diverse minded and having clear different opinions, but the one thing that unites every member on this floor, Madame Speaker, is that we are each members of the Washington State House of Representatives and that this institution is one that we incur an obligation to uphold, not just today, but into the future. It is that notion of respect for this institution that has been instilled in every member on both sides of the aisle by the gentleman that we honor today and by the Speakers’ Attorney. I rise today because some members, many members, may not remember that there was a time, in the last 15 years that I’ve served in this body, where the Speakers’ Attorney was not able to serve as our guide on a daily basis. During that time of need, Allen Hayward served as a guide to both the Republican caucus and the Democratic caucus. During times when we were fully staffed, Allen Hayward always proved to be the most worthy of adversaries but during times of need, he became our trusted friend and for that Madame Speaker, I urge all members of this body to recognize Allen Hayward as the most honorable steward of this great institution that we are so privileged to serve. Thank you Madame Speaker.”

HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 4605 was adopted.

The Speaker (Representative Orwall presiding) introduced Allen Haywards’ family, his long suffering, lovely and talented wife, Sharon Hayward, parents Don and Barbara Hayward, sons Matthew Hayward, Jeff Malloy and Chris Malloy, grandson Gavin Hayward, sister in law Julie Knackstedt and niece Lea McCartney.
