I went in '66 and we travelled all the way from South Florida by train back then.
Had a blast and our Senator squired us around the Capitol building and we all posed for a panoramic group photo out front. Now, that guy sure knew how to get re elected. Went to the Mint, the FBI building where they shot up a target downstairs for us with a Thompson. Went to the zoo, the White House and rose garden and Mt Vernon of course.
