Subject: In town pool report 12 - exiled to vans
Pool has moved to vans outside the cathedral at 10:35 pm because there was no signal in the subterranean Bethlehem Chapel where we were holding before.
We have no eyes in POTUS or the First Lady, the only member of the family who joined him at the Christmas service.
Subject: In town pool report 13
Sorry not to have much color from the National Cathedral.
Pool was placed high up on a balcony for the opening hymnal of the procession.
Behind bank of cameras, print pooler could barely make out POTUS and First Lady in the distance below.
Pool removed soon after the Acclamation of the Nativity.
Pool was taken to an underground chapel with no cell signal/connectivity.
Poolsters given choice of staying there, or moving to vans outside.
Program is available online or by stream.
We chose outside so we could send words and pics sooner.
We are still holding at 11:19
