	William Weld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Floyd Weld (born July 31, 1945, in Smithtown, New York) was the Republican Governor of Massachusetts from 1991 to 1997.

		Weld was a principal at Leeds Weld and Co., which describes itself as the United States's largest private equity fund focused on investing in the education and training industry.

	William Weld's speech at Northeastern Republican Club \| Urban Elephants (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I do think that Weld had some pizzazz and a good sense of humor. It's a shame that he'll fight for the victims of abuse, of crime, of terrorism, of high taxes, but not for the most weak and vulnerable members of our society -- the precious unborn.
