President Lincoln (aka Steve Wood) |
Ms. Byron introduced him as I played "Hail to the Chief" from the sound room. When "Flourishes and Ruffles" played there was a burst of energy from the kids and when they saw "Lincoln" they were dying - this guy looks just like Lincoln (as you can see in the picture to the left). Three of our students played Secret Service agents and escorted him in and stood by as he spoke. God bless them, they hardly moved an inch during his whole talk.
Mr. Sheenan presents the plaque marking Jimmy Carter's 1975 Visit to Trinity |
Mr. Sheehan '79 then spoke about Jimmy Carter's 1975 visit to Trinity during his campaign for president. Mr. Sheehan was a student here at the time and remembers thinking, "This guy doesn't have a chance." As Carter was the only president to have ever visited Trinity (albeit as a future president), we had a plaque made up marking his visit which will hang outside the classroom in which he spoke (310).
