Does Mya Angleou ( I know I spelled that wrong) count as a poet? She spoke at someones inauguration didn't she? Maybe Clinton's or George W's?
Oh, another thing. Why don't you list all the presidential libraries you have been to and the ones you have left. I'm curious to know. I know you've been to a lot of them. I don't know how many there are.
It sounds like ya'll had a wonderful trip. I am so glad.
