WHEELING America has a new president, and local residents are reflecting on just what that means.
For Teddie Grogan, co-chair of the Ohio County Democrat Women, Inauguration Day was a day of celebration tempered with memories of an insurgency at the U.S. Capitol just two weeks ago.
“I am giddy with excitement on one hand, and carefully hopeful on the other,” she said. “I’m looking toward healing.
“I am thrilled to death the inauguration is taking place, but sad it has to be under armed guards. But our republic held. Our democracy is on display for the whole world.”
