Now being a historian at the Capitol , that sounds so interesting... and a lot safer!<br /><br />My son's district is in the Adams Morgan section in the center of DC so he's not near the Capitol. We did visit the Capitol's new Visitors' Center last week and were very impressed, though it was weird to be on a tour of a place where I once roamed freely as a reporter~ We did get lots of history on the tour, too!PatRemickhttp://www.patremick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-4292951945039452492009-09-15T07:18:51.502-04:002009-09-15T07:18:51.502-04:00Congratulations to both you and your son!

When she says she'll keep him safe, believe her.<br /><br />My son--a historian-not a cop--works in the Capitol building. Is your son stationed anywhere near there?Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-36081301502135662612009-09-15T06:52:31.148-04:002009-09-15T06:52:31.148-04:00Pat, my nephew recently became a cop.

It's scary out there all over. <br /><br />Congrats to your son. May he enjoy a long, safe career with the force.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755947919433555176noreply@blogger.com
