President Clinton Meet Douglas Beck

Doug has been volunteering for the Obama campaign for some time now. He's somewhat of a permanent fixture at the Grasso Plaza field office. Doug likes to go door to door to campaign. Laura Obama (as we like to call her) the field coordinator called Doug late Saturday afternoon and asked if Doug would like to volunteer to be part of President Clinton's motorcade. This meant going to the airport to escort Bill and his staff to Kirkwood High School. Doug was the only "civilian" in the crowd - the rest Secret Service and his staff. While Doug did not get to drive the President, he did escort several members of his staff and a congressman. Doug had the honor of meeting with the President and talking with him after his appearance. Somewhat surreal - funny where life takes you.
