New younger man in the Oval Office
« on: January 20, 2009, 08:24:54 AM »
Actually a younger version of myself was in the Oval Office during the
Reagan administration--standing next to The Resolute Desk.
I was there to take photos for HABS (The Historic American Building Survey).
Secret Service was not too happy when I put my 35mm on the mantle
and ran around to get in the picture.

Ah...the desk which plays a prominent role in the second National Treasure film. I've never seen a good picture of it before.

Their unhappiness couldn't have been too extreme, you came away with the camera and the picture.  ;)
