After he was done speaking and, as Eric said in humility, seemed almost embarrassed at the adulation he received, he made his way towards us along the stage, we were going nuts, knowing that he would probably come down along the front of the rail where we were standing!

I mean he was getting really close!! I used no zoom on this picture....(aren't those cute little W West Virginia maps? :o)

CLOSE!!! Going crazy here!! What do I say?? What if I faint?!! LOL!

He came down the steps and started 'working the crowd', holding up two babies and smiling. I had a great shot of one, but then this pumpkin lady, pushed forward in the surge of the crowd, and all I got in my picture was the SS guy, the back of W's head, and the top of the baby's head!! AArrrghh!!

He was coming right up to me then, so I dropped the camera after this shot (note pumpkin costume.....)

Thanks so much for posting this. God bless him, he's got to be exhausted after all of this.
