On The Steps Of The Capitol

 

This is a photo of my eighth-grade class sitting on the steps of the Capitol Building during a school trip to Washington, DC.  I am in the front row, fourth from the left.  I was 13 years old.  We were all excited to make the trip from New York to Washington, DC. 

This was my first introduction to our government and sadly, I don't remember a thing about it (it was 44 years ago!), but I know getting on a bus and traveling six hours to the nation's capital was a big deal.  

Ronald Reagan was President and the photo was signed by House Representative, from Middletown, New York, Benjamin Gilman.
