We had a visitor last week - Les' cousin Shannon had business in California and spent a few nights with us before flying home. Friday afternoon we made a quick visit to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. We didn't get there until about 3:00 and it closed at 5:00, so we moved quickly through the exhibits.
I forgot to take any pictures of the Oval Office, but here is Les being presidential:
Air Force One:
His meetings with Gorbachev:
Part of the Berlin Wall:
There is a special exhibit right now - "The Wall the Heals" is a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. This is a traveling exhibit that is only on display for a few days and we were fortunate to see it.
On my way out of the library, I walked through the gift shop. I picked up a 2016 calendar with this picture of the cover:
When the library opened in November 1991, I was working down the street at Bugle Boy. Security was high with our current president and these four former presidents in town. It's one of my favorite pictures!
I don't understand all that is going on in our world. Sadly, the Bible tells us that man is not good, we live in a fallen state. But "what is right" is God's ways and those ways will always eventually triumph!
