Amongst the wonders of nature, particulate that we can stand next to the fishpond to welcome the bloom of the snowball behind me. We have the beautiful purple iris, and of course the digitalis, and the foxglove about to bloom. What a pleasant occasion. Without any further comments, as i have a few moments before i continued my walk to the garden, and i think gardens is a most pleasant subject to a most pleasant subject to attend to today. I ask for the first question. Ofwe do have a number questions for you relating to gardening. The first is, have you always left gardening . Thomas jefferson you asked me if i have always loved gardening . I assure you that you cannot be born in the wilderness and the forest primeval without an early love of all of natures wonders, the great abundance our creator has provided us, and to realize we merely have to cut out what pleases us and plant accordingly. I served 40 years in public service, and yet i have often thought, if heaven had given me a pos

Congress and that early period in the development of our country. We have been fortunate to have chuck as part of the uscs society team for five years, prior to that he was 27 years working on the First Congress program. And so he has put together a very imaginative presentation using primary sources, letters of the times, where people wrote to one another about the science, the food, the culture, and the back and forth that made early days in washington. That being said, we invite you to stay with us for your questions and answers.

Feeling that this was unfinished business. Lbj deserves all the credit that he later claimed for piloting, navigating, guiding the civil rights bill to passage in july of 1964 when he signs it. But i think kennedy deserves credit as the kennedyjohnson bill. It had cleared the house of representatives by the day jfk was killed.
