"Spear, a University of Minnesota history professor, was known in the Legislature for his knowledge and speaking skills. He used both to build bridges with conservative legislators, Moe said.
"Without a doubt, everyone who served with him would rank him as one of the brightest members who served," Moe said. "Knowledge is power, and because of that he had the ability to bring people together."
The Minnesota Historical Society, as part of the state's 150th anniversary celebration, recently named him one of the 150 Minnesotans who shaped the state."
