This was taken at the White House south lawn on August 7, 1969. Tim had completed his freshman year at UN-L and Laurie had flown back with him. Joanie Wells was from my office and Elaine took the picture. President Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger welcomed the new Ambassador from Germany and we were among the "government people" invited to the event to provide an "impressive" crowd. Elaine and I attended several of these events during our DC years. They were always colorful with military bands, etc. Family members of employee's with securing clearance were permitted. It was a rare opportunity for many of us to see the President up close. Laurie spent a couple weeks with us and rode along as we drove back to Nebraska on our summer vacation.
It was such an AWESOME trip!!!! Thanks for posting Uncle Bud:-)
