Oneida, New York Veterans Third Year
For the third year in a row and my first group picture of 2009, Erwin Smith of the Oneida Rotary Club made a trip by bus with a group of fifty. Each year, they decide to extend their stay and this year they are here for three full days. The weather had just cleared as I arrived about 2:30 and with the exception of one downpour remained pretty wonderful the rest of the day. They will be revisiting the WWII Memorial tomorrow evening. I think that’s a great idea as the Memorial and the Mall come to life in the evening. They had their Jewel of the Mall books with them so I was able to sign a few books and point out some features. Normally, this doesn’t work because of logistics but it does feel good to sign books right at the WWII Memorial. The images I took will be available for download at the Photo Site
