Mardi GRAS story? Where is the search button......
Ah Mardi Gras! Been to four and have stories for each one. Parades, Beads and watching the front loaders clean Burbon street in the morning. Pat O'Brien's and Hurricanes
Stockholm Olympics - 1912, following Jim Thorpe's decathlon victory
King Gustav V of Sweden: "You, sir, are the greatest athlete in the world."
Jim Thorpe" "Thanks, King."

White House State Visit - 1970s, during the Ford Administration
His Majesty Carl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden: "Doesn't anybody here speak English?"
Jcleppe: "Hiya, King!"
Do you mean a Marine with an Umbrella which is against the regs?
What is the job of a staffer or aide? Rather a military member, don't they have someone to watch the weather report for proper staging and hold umbrellas from rain, ice, and snow?
Thank you Jcleppe for answering and putting this thread back on track. Exactly what I was wondering. What about staffers and aides though? Staffers and aides for everything right? They probably have staffers to plan pressers so wouldn't they be able to get covers and proper staging for the event.
