Inauguration Invite Brings Ordinary Couple to Carter Day
Robert Dean Bailey and his wife from Plains Georgia received an unexpected invitation to President Carter's inauguration. They were first time political volunteers who helped register co workers and neighbors. The couple traveled by car to Washington DC, watched the ceremony from the Senate building, and later viewed the parade from Capitol Hill. They described the Georgia crowd as friendly and recalled the Carter family's appearance with cheers. They visited nearby Virginia battlefields and planned to attend a post inauguration event but chose to return home exhausted yet glad they had gone.
