Me at the Clinton Library opening and my meeting with Chelsea Clinton
Me and Chelsea Clinton.
Here is the story behind meeting Chelsea Clinton. I had a short lay over at the Memphis, Tn airport. So I thought I would get something to eat before catching my flight to Little Rock, since I hadn't had anything to eat since lunch. Well they are doing work in the Memphis airport. Well at the time I didn't know this until my flight home, if I had gone around a corner, there were places to eat. So after that I thought I would get something to eat in Little Rock. It was after 8 pm when my plane got to Little Rock and the small food court that they have was closed. There was a restaurant open, the chairs were up on the tables. So I went and got my suit case. There were people walking around with buttons that said "Ask Me" so I went and asked if there were any other places opened to eat in the airport. They said that the restaurant I passed on my way to collect my suit case might be opened. So I walked back up there and with the chairs on top of the tables, I just said forget it and went to call my shuttle for my hotel by the airport. There was a sign that read something like public transportation and limo's etc. That was the way I started to walk. As I was going that way, I did a double take and thought to myself no that cant be her. I did it again. So as I was walking a gentleman asked me if I was loss or what I was looking for. So I told him I was looking to pick up my hotel shuttle. He told me I had to go back the way I came from. As I was walking back, there were other people getting their picture taken with Chelsea. So I walked over to her and asked if I could have my picture taken with her. She said ok and had her boyfriend or the guy she is suppose to marry take it. I told her that her dad did a lot for this country and I was looking forward to hear her speak that Thursday. She gave the keys to the National Archives Director. She was very nice about getting my picture taken with her. I was going to ask for her autograph, but I didn't because I didn't want to push my luck.
Me soaking wet after sitting in the rain for about 6 hours
Because of the rain, people were leaving early. I think it started to rain about 9:30 or so and it was raining the whole time. It went between a light rain to a very heavy rain. The one good thing about everyone leaving before the end, it didn't take long to get out. My fingers got cold and numb. When I made a stop at the museum store and I couldn't pick anything up.
