A Thousand Points of Light
Last night, I had the honor and pleasure to attend the Evening for Laird Stabler event at the Hotel DuPont in Wilmington, Delaware. Tne guest of honor was President George H. W. Bush. I worked as a volunteer for the event, which I feel was the best fundraiser I have ever attended. Bright spirits all around, and though Laird is known as "Mr. Republican," it was event to come together to celebrate the man, and not the politics. More than a few Democrats were in attendence, and the Mississippi Hurricane Relief effort made out very nicely. I was also excited that a video message from Gov. Haley Barbour was played.
The President's speech was short and humorous, discussing the life of an ex-president. Apparently, no one forgets when you throw up on the Prime Minister of Japan. He also said that he and Bill Clinton have receieved praise from foreign governments, baffled that two political enemies could come together for causes like Tsunami and Hurricane Relief. Here are some pictures I snapped:

The President seemed to be having a good time.
