Thanks. I'm delighted people are enjoying this group of pics.

[Wolfstar]

So....where can we get one of these?

I don't know. Don't even know if they are still in production since they were made for the '04 campaign.

[EmilyGeiger]

Fine thanks. :) And you? Are you doing ok?

[Wolfstar]

IIRC, it was even before the 1st anniversary. It was at the annual remembrance of fallen firefighters......maybe in the spring of 2002?

I think you may be right, OWF. Great memory!

[snugs]

Good evening

[EmilyGeiger]

Which thread?

[Wolfstar]

So many showing how much this President can relate to people from all walks of life without seeming to be condecending. He is just a people-person!

So true. The man is so genuine.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

they are definitely not always civil, gentlemen always, but not always civil

... and there my dear lady is what makes us Curmudgeons!

OH BTW High Tea

is really a poor man's dinner. Tea is the proper term and I have been to Tea many times in England, Scotland and South Africa. Done correctly it is a very nice affair, though one is required to be civil.

Sure was cute! :o)

Hi apples. You're so welcome. Good to "see" you tonight.

I couldn't find any Carrie/Jeff pics either, but I did find a Jeff Gordon TV interview from the event. Here's a link to the video.

Don't you love being lectured to?

Yeah. Since the [blank] doesn't like pronouns, I came thisclose to posting a series of rather choice adjectives. Then I figured the guy was getting his [blank] off each time I responded, so decided not to give him any more satisfaction.

[silent_jonny]

Aw, stop :)

Hi, Apples!

[ohioWfan]

LOL! Good enough, then. As long as you're fair. :)

[Wolfstar]

No YOU are a prize, the lecturer was the booby-prize.

Grin...apples, you're right. You realize we are all on that dolt's evil list for using you, your, and probably other pronouns.

[silent_jonny]

I'll mail the link to you.

[Wolfstar]

Hi snugs! How are you and your dad doing this evening?

[mystery-ak]

Wow!....kinda creepy..

I am super tired from surgery, but otherwise I am doing well...

I love that pic with the WTC in the background.

Here's one of mine from a personal collection that I have shared before. It was taken on 7/4/86 and it is Marine One with RWR inside.

Perhaps because LBJ was a Texas Democrat -- an East Texas Democrat. Although he pushed Civil Rights a lot for the national scene with his Great Society programs, he soft-pedaled it at home where it was still a very touchy subject -- especially in east Texas. (That's mentioned in the movie.)Actually, it was George Bush, the father, who lost his Congressional seat in Houston because he voted for a Bill to nullify segregation in housing around that time. Houstonians didn't like that and voted him out of office as a result.

Or, perhaps the custom of champion teams visiting the WH hadn't started yet. Note the player who said, "Our team should have been the ones to start that tradition."

I do not even remember this team and this championship. I was busy raising 4 children under age 5, worrying about how to make my husband's paycheck stretch (Johnson told us all to eat black eyed peas and ham hocks, instead of steak every night) for all our needs, and watching the anti-war movement spin out of control in Bezerkley, CA. If this game was even on TV, we certainly didn't watch it in California.

This is a great movie, however, and I thoroughly enjoyed it -- especially the credits at the end where the real players appeared with additional commentary. Everyone should see it.
