Diary Entry for 7/19/2002

Sunny and warm. President Georg Bush at Fort Drum for about four hours. Also Gov. Pataki and other state officers: Hillary Clinton, John McHugh, Sweeney Walsh, and others. All very moving to watch all those young soldiers response to the President. Makes a person proud to be an American. Jim called in evening. He had just gotten home from his bike trip to all the New England States. Three other guys went with him. Jim was their guide. I went outside for a walk and to see the flowers. Barb was watering them. She sure keeps them beautiful.
