Bringing Current Events Alive

By Mike Abair

Last month the President came to speak at HVCC about the tech growth happening here in the Capitol Region. Of course there were no seats available to watch the speech so Holly came up with the next best thing and took a van load to go check out Air Force 1. We actually got pretty close to the airport before all the traffic came to a complete halt.

State Police and Secret Service kept everything under control and said it was ok to get out of our van. Holly had her camera and was able to get some good shots of the President’s Jet. She and some of the folks walked toward the airport to see if they could see a little more.

When they got back from the airport not only did Holly have pictures of the plane but she had photos of President Obama getting on after he turned and waved to the crowd. The entire trip back to Collage we talked about how cool it was to actually go see an event like this.

It’s not often we do we have an opportunity to see an event like this in our area. It was a real treat. Thanks Holly.

Here are some of the photos Holly took
