Fun Fact

In 2005, Randy gave Henry his custom-made dress shirts as a gift. (Well, they actually no longer fit Randy after his years of military PT). As the director of ADEQ, Henry used to wear these shirts often. In 2015, Henry returned the favor by giving Randy one of his tailored blazers prior to a strategic meeting that Henry set up with the Governor of Arizona Doug Ducey, through which Randy performed an evaluation of the American foreign policy in the Middle East.
