Being a good neighbor runs in the family for former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker and her husband, former Sen. Howard Baker.
Kassebaum Baker, a Republican from Kansas, accepted this year's Harry S. Truman Good Neighbor Award Thursday, exactly eight years after her husband won the honor."I looked at Howard's speech that he gave in 1989, and I thought, `Well, I ought to just give it again,' " she said at a luncheon held each year in Kansas City on the anniversary of Truman's birth.
