I was born in a Catholic hospital and nuns took care of me. My dad used to tell me that they carried the babies around in the big pockets in their habits. (no, I don't believe him . . . anymore!)

That is one of the most adorable pictures I've ever seen in my life :)

For my daily quota...I adore my president!

Okay. I watched the President's appearance in Huntington at Marshall Univ. on the local. I could have been there had I known the details because one of my friends was sitting directly behind the President. He's head of our local Marshall Univ. branch, and we are both on the Tourism Committee. I'm gonna get him for not getting me an invitation (the event was by invitation only). When you watch the clips, he is the white haired, slighly balding man so behind the President you only get a glimpse of him.

The President hit another home run and I'm so thankful that it was carried live on the local TV stations. There were the obligatory Union protestors outside, but they were gettiing rained on LOL. The President sat on a stool the whole time as he made his standard speech about "when someone provides a good or a service, they need workers..etc." He pointed out today's good news, 308,000 jobs in March. He touched on the need for an energy bill and included the point that in his budget there is $400M for "clean coal" tech. That resonates with WVirginians.

He "interviewed" six people who were sitting beside him. One who heads up Marshall Community College, explaining how easy it is to attend for job training. One who heads up a "One Stop" place where people can get help with re-training, job search and placement, etc. One who started her own Physical Therapy business with three employees and now provides jobs for 45. One a young mother who qualified for re-training who will graduate soon and double the salary she was making before. One a young man who was a restaurant manager who went to MUCC and became an IT specialist. He provides networking services and assists handicapped people who need computer skills. He was red-headed and the President asked him if people ever call him red. He replied, "yes, but I've never figured out why." Everyone laughed and the President said, "Watch it, I'm the funny one around here." Another big laugh. I can't recall the sixth person for some reason (senior moment).

The crowd was enthusiastic and was a whole lot happier looking than kerry's crowd a few weeks ago in Charleston, WV. The President was so relaxed and he did a masterful job of interacting with the interviewees. He was funny too. I believe he will get a good boost in WV with this appearance.

The man directly behind and to the right of the President is my friend and colleague.

Thanks Nan, Really do appreciate the detail of your report......

It probably will do him a world of good to bring closure to ops with his unit over there. Does he have any info on what they will do after they return to Fort Campbell?

Great report on the WVA event, Nan. Thanks for posting it. Sort of felt as if I had been there. Sorry you weren't. =\

So happy for you! Enjoy this time together, as if you need to be told that! :-)

Feels like homecoming with all this talk about the nuns. One needs to have been with them during school to appreciate what we all have in common--those nuns were a hoot!!!

Keep up the stories, please.

A fellow we know from Huntington offered to get us tickets, but we just couldn't make the trip. Glad you could see it on TV, at least.

Thanks for the dose! I was babysitting today and my grandkids had cartoons or Playstation on the TV, so I really appreciate seeing the pictures!

A Citizen Reporter gets to go to Opening Day in St. Louis...where the President will throw out the first pitch!! I hope she will give us a report!

Me too. About the Nuns. They were from St Mary's Hospital. That is the hospital where I would go if I needed anything serious. It's where Jack had his Defibrilltor installed. It's an excellent hospital where I've spent a lot of time with people from my congregations throughout the years.
