I have  never met GW and was sorry that I did not have a chance to shake his

It will be neat to meet the people and ask what it was like to  have him 
visit their work place.

With 300 million Americans, how many  actually have the opportunity to meet 
the Commander and  Chief?




Garth,
 
I got to meet two Presidents and even a British PM. All of this when I  
worked on the B-2 at Edwards AFB. First Ronald Regan came for a visit after he  was 
out of office. He was shorter than I thought he would be. Actually talked to  
him. Daddy Bush also stopped by to check up on us. Margaret Thatcher stopped 
by,  also after she was out of office. We put on a "show" for all of them by 
playing  a data tape through the control room while we "intently" monitored our 
screens.  Ron stopped at my station and asked about the info on my screen (of 
course I had  one of the best designed screens :^) ). Before we were told not 
to speak unless  spoken to and to keep replies short and to minimize "tech 
speak."
