August 23 is Lloyd Pendleton’s birthday. Noted as one of Utah’s premiere champions of populations most of us never see, he is probably best remembered by America for his interview, The Homeless Homed, on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Jan. 7, 2015.
He had the ability to take difficult social issues and address them with heart – and ofttimes humor – in such a way that people from a variety of socio-economic opinions “came to the table” to discuss possible solutions. He energized them in a way that things got done.
Lloyd Pendleton would have been 79 years old this year.
