Below is a reprint from something I wrote in July 1998.
It’s July 1998 and I’m still living in Florida, but I got the opportunity to visit DC and view the fireworks display on the White House lawn. Below is a collection of photos from the July 4th weekend.
The gentleman in the last two photos is President Clinton. I didn’t shake Clinton’s hand only because I already did on the 1992 campaign. So many people wanted to meet him, that I stood back and took pictures.
The night ended with a 2 hour journey trying to use the Metro to leave DC. However, there are no photos of that horrible scene.
Little did I know then that I’d end up meeting President Clinton two summers later.

We foresaw a similar metro journey last year but opted for Chinese food instead, then took a cab back to the hotel
much easier. That throng of bodies looked scary.
