A Special Tour 25 Years Ago

25 years ago tonight, wonderful tour guide and friend Lori Abrams captured this special moment as Gary and DiAnn entered the West Wing of the White House, recreating their Washington, DC honeymoon 24 years later, with a special access enabled by their daughter Dawn's incredible internship that fall in the White House gift unit.

This trip was DiAnn's first time on a plane. For their honeymoon in October 1972, they drove to Washington and even encountered a tour group including Gary's Decorah Community School teachers on the National Mall. 

Gary may have clowned around and did his best "Tricky Dick" pose when standing at the White House Press Room podium. For citizens and lovers of history, any time at the White House is humbling and awe-inspiring.

Thank you, Lori for capturing this special moment 25 years ago, that was more than 24 years in the making!
