In 1959 Kennedy came to Brooklyn, my mother & her friends saw him outside of Dubrows Cafeteria on Kings Highway--they fell in love--when he died it was the end of an era

Does anyone know the details of his executive order concerning Social Security?

We have a couple of friends who were invited. Years ago George Bush used my husbands office when visiting General Dynamics in Ft Worth, TX. It was interesting to see how all of the security evolved. They even installed a temporary “red phone in his office”. Several years later I was privileged to watch the security prep for Clinton in Berlin. The security is very time consuming and unbelievably thorough. Guess Trump forgot to ask us. :-)

I've had 2 encounters with Presidents. First was Kennedy in 1959 at Eastgate Center in Roseville, Michigan. He came in by chopper and I shook his hand (so there, Bill Clinton). Second was January, 1988 at the Century Plaza in LA ( the LA Western White House). Attended a Rose Bowl function in the Presidential Suite. Although President Reagan was not there it was a treat to see the 3 phones in his bathroom (including the Red one), the landing pad for Marine One, etc.

You have a singular honor, Chat, and we expect you to tell all when done!

What an honor And a privilege, Chat. Enjoy every minute, nice to see you would not spoil the event by using your phone.

That's great , we were able to make it to 2 of his rallies hehe in Fl.

Given the events of the last week the security will be crazy tight. The traffic will be tied up for hours so be prepared for it. Unless you have a ticket to the event, I personally would stay away from the Spanish Springs area. To each their own.

Have a wonderful and memorable time. It's always a special occasion to be in the presence of the sitting president of our great nation. When I was much younger, I had the pleasure of being able to shake Richard Nixon's hand while he was visiting his daughter when she was going to Smith College in my hometown of Northampton, MA.

Saw about eight helicopters of two types flying around the Rio Grande area about 12:45 PM today. They must be part of the security force.

I saw Ronald Reagan on the University of Nevada, Reno quad. Quite a pleasure as he was someone I admired and still do. Limited government and all that.

Had lectures from Walter Mondale while at the U of MN Law School. A hall there is named after him so he is there on occasion.
