2009 Barak Obama Inauguration
Bangkok, Thailand
20 January 2009
Dear Friends,
At the appropriate time I will be attending an inauguration party sponsored by an active group called "Democrats Abroad Thailand." The party will be at The Roadhouse Grille - American cooking....BBQ, hamburgers, etc.
I am cautiously optimistic that the next years will bring what we are hoping for. I even remembered to bring back an American flag that is now displayed in my apartment.
David Sprout and Nai run the Soi 1 Guesthouse, just up the street from my building. We have been friends for two years.
David is from South Georgia and Nai is from South Thailand. They have a young daughter named Samantha.
Samantha is all dressed up.
Yes, the world is watching.
The world is with us.
Jan

Dear Jan,
Again, thank you for sharing your wonderful excursions. I must say that you have made a number of people very happy and very excited about a portion of the world we might never get a chance to experience for ourselves.
And what about that '"USA" on Samantha's walking shorts? So very inspiring!
Your friend in Albuquerque NM

Jan,
Tomorrow starts a whole new era for America . I hear mixed reviews on Obama from people who know him well from the Hyde Park neighborhood where he lives.
I had dinner Saturday night with two friends who were both invited to the inauguration. It will be both historical
and memorable.
Obviously, this is a big thing for us in Chicago . Favorite son goes to Washington . He will be taking several Chicagoans with him.
Let's wish them all good luck and pray for the new administration and our country.
Jan, take care of yourself. Keep enjoying life and sharing it with me.
Very best regards.....Jack

Jan,
Here's hoping you and your fellow democrats living abroad can make a positive contribution to the mess the world is in.
Republicans or democrats, it doesn't matter. Only We the People can make a difference.
We the People did it. Time to recognize that.
Ken and Sandy

This is neat. Starting with George Washington, watch as all the Presidents morph into each other. Music is Ravel's Bolero.
