Description Also became known as the Summer White House In 1927 President Calvin Coolidge announced that he wanted a summer away from bugs, crowds, and Washington, D.C., South Dakota worked hard to bring him to the Black Hills. To start with, the State Legislature passed a resolution formally inviting the president that spared no praise for the region. When Senator Norbeck delivered the invitation, Coolidge responded, Senator, I cant tell whether this is a chapter from Revelations or Mohammeds idea of the seventh heaven. But, he came.He brought with him his wife, Grace, and their son, Johnand an entourage of staff members, secret service agents, political dignitaries, and journalistsand they made their home for the summer in the State Game Lodge and surrounding cabins. Excited South Dakotans turned out to see the Presidents arrival at the railroad platform and presented him with a horse, a large-brimmed Western hat, and a pair of boots.Originally slated to stay three weeks, the President extended his stay to three months. During his stay, Coolidge officially dedicated the inaugural work on the nearby carving of Mount Rushmore
John Kapusta, Cape Coral, FL Member Since March 2008 Artist Statement They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Welcome and thank you for visiting my galleries.
My body of work is to capture through the lens the beauty of nature, the environment around us and the interaction of people within these parameters.
My photos are diverse encompassing Florida where I currently reside as well as areas I visit in my travels. I want to create a message to portray the beauty around us and to stimulate our sense of sight as well as stir the soul.
