Senator Dole, Chuck Hegel (new Secretary of Health?), Jeff Fortenberry and _____(help me out here) joined together to welcome these Wisconsin, Nebraska and Albany veterans on a cold but beautifully breezy day. Unlike Summer, people were staking out those nice sunny spots from which to look around the WWII Memorial. You can just begin to see the stone age a bit so it more than ever fits into and ties together the surrounding Mall environment. The leaves are taking their time this year and are an extraordinary shade of gold. The Mall is absolutely gorgeous and I am always impressed by life in the Capitol. Al Bailey really worked to get the veterans together for the picture below. It’s on the PICTURE SITE like all the other images. This Saturday is the last flight of the year but I am looking forward to a Winter Convention. I thought last year’s was extraordinarily helpful and i don’t do anything but take pictures!
