Well that's interesting!
Henderson served as the Ontario Progressive Conservative MPP for Lambton for 21 years. Having received only a grade eight education, he was notorious for his poor grammar, such as when a hospital in his riding received a $160,000 donation in 1975, he delivered it with the line, "Me and the premier brung you this cheque." But, on the other hand, he also had a remarkable ability to remember people's names after having only met them once.
