Joe Biden Comes to Town!

I went with a coworker to see Joe Biden in person. We arrived at Mehlville High School about 11:30. Joe spoke at 2:00. Everything went well and the wait wasn't long at all since there was so much excitement in the air. Kara, who now is student teaching at Oakville Senior High, scored big time and was able to sit in the second row with the Board of Education and teachers of each high school. Needless to say I was jealous but I was only a few rows behind her so I was pleased.


Representative Russ Carnahan chats with Kara and Megan
Senator Jean Carnahan - We're still with you Mel
Kara introduces herself to the soon to be Senator - Joan Barry Saint Louis County Executive Charles (Charlie) Dooley
Hello Joe!
The crowd gives a standing ovation to Joe - the first of many throughout his inspiring speech





Anticipation and excitement!
Strike a pose! How cool is this?!?!
Senator Biden talks and shakes hands with Kara and Megan
He is completely blown away that they're already teachers ~ teachers rock!
