June 9, 2004 President Reagan Goodbye
The start of the queue for the Rotunda
viewing. The Capitol is still a long way away, and
we had to traverse about a dozen 200' or so long switchback lanes. It was stop
for a minute
or two, then move ten feet, repeat. Over and over. It took a total of 4 1/2
hours to get into
the Rotunda, during which time everyone got to know all the people directly
around them.
