When Doc went to any horse event, he was guaranteed to be stopped by folks wanting to talk to him, calling out "
Hey Doc!" and thanking him for caring for their beloved horse or, of course, asking for advice.
King's admires often ask him: "
Hey Doc!" " when are you going to run for the Congress or the House of the Representatives?" His answer was almost always the same: " It's not my calling." But when the questions persisted, he literally told them that: " I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good." Case closed!
