All Tahomans were excited to hear that the US State Dept. will begin construction of a new museum in DC that will feature a visual history of our Foreign Service and its dealings about the world since 1776.
A historical photo was published today featuring the present secretary, John Kerry, and his six predecessors: Hillary Clinton; Madeline Albright, Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, James A. Baker III, and Gen. Colin Powell. Each held a ceremonial 1st shovel, a project tradition. I can't wait to go through the doors and read about all the glorious accomplishments of statecraft: Marshall Plan, Truman Doctrine, Cuban Crisis, Gulf of Tonkin, Korean Truce, Panama Invasion, Iran/Contra Affair, Iran Hostage Crisis, Greek Civil War(CIA), Italian Communist Takeover(CIA), Spanish Dictator(Franco) Support, Rebuilding of Japan(McArthur), etc.
There will be something for everybody-sort of Disneyland for Diplomats! One will have to elbow aside agents of KGB, NKVD, MOSSAD, MI5, MI6, and a few others, mostly Chinese.
The photo will be a collectors' item, I'm sure. Maybe Mr. Putin will ask for a copy as he knows them all personally. Ha.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
