Donald W. Riegle, Jr.
Donald Wayne Riegle, Jr. (born February 4, 1938) is an American politician from Michigan, who served for five terms as a Representative and for three terms as a Senator in the U.S. Congress.
==Early life==
Riegle was born in Flint, Michigan and is a graduate of Flint Central High School. His father, Donald W. Riegle, Sr., was briefly the Republican mayor of Flint, Michigan.
He attended Flint Junior College and Western Michigan University, graduated with a B.A in business administration and economics from the University of Michigan (Class of 1960), and received an M.B.A. in finance from Michigan State University (Class of 1961). Riegle was employed by IBM as a financial analyst from 1961-64. He completed required course work for doctoral studies in business and government relations at Harvard Business School, 1964–66, before leaving to run for Congress. Riegle served on the faculties of Michigan State University, Boston University, the University of Southern California, and Harvard University.
In his book ''IKE AND DICK'', author Jeffrey Frank relates the story of how Riegle, while still a Harvard student, was invited by Richard Nixon to visit his home in New York City. There, Riegle told Nixon that he had been approached by friends back in Michigan to run for Congress, but that he was uncertain, and his wife was against the idea. Nixon spent the evening encouraging Riegle to make the run, and even called Mrs. Riegle at home and convinced her to agree to her husband's campaign. Nixon's chief argument for running was that if he didn't try, he would always regret it, and that a life of regret was worse than a political defeat. Nixon also later arranged for Riegle to meet with former President Dwight Eisenhower, who also encouraged him to run.
