we had the pleasure of welcoming President Obama To our little village yesterday May 23rd. The President and first lady warmly greeted all the with hugs kisses and hand shakes. I got a kiss from the first lady and The Presidents autograph.the President then held my little 5 week old grandson James Nolan in his arms. what a historical day for our family and the whole community one that will be recorded in my family history to be read by future generations    Mary Nolan ;D
