With the President

We have a number of teachers who would be amazed. Yesterday, I rubbed elbows with the President (almost). We were both at Mt. Vernon for President Washington's Birthday festivities, and at the same time. However, only one of us actually carried a wreath to Washington's grave, and it was not the President. Through the kindness of older brother masons, it was someone more common: yours truly.

It was a simple but impressive ceremony that included a short naration about Washington's commitment and leadership with the masons.

I had trouble holding back tears to think that such a questionable student of Weiser could be in a place so central to our nation's history and pride. I wondered what many of my/our teachers might think.
