And museum in west blank, iowa. Chaz fagen created the portraits for cspan in 1999 and recently added president trumps. The traveling exhibit created in conjunction with the White House Historical association was brought to the Hoover Library by cspan in partnership with media com. Curator marcus shows us the additional objects the museum borrowed to accompany each of the 44 portraits. Today were at the Hebert Hoover president ial library in west branch, iowa. We are in the museum portion of the building. And this is our temporary exhibit, which is cspans american president s life portraits. The idea for this came about from us thinking about bringing in the temporary exhibit from cspan.

This virus really doesnt care. The more you have no location the more virus production the wider spread can occur. But occur. But we need to be thinking about in the way of security and why this is different than what it has been prior this is the first time in north america we have had a high pack virus travel teefive wild birds to north america, the first time, and it is because it has adapted itself to these dabbling ducks and is moved across the bering strait.
