Yes, he showed up....The President, George W. Bush....in person. What an exciting day for our little town in the far north state of California. Touching down at the Redding Airprt just after 2 PM, thousands were there to greet him, but unfortanately the tight schedule did not allow for much interaction with the public. All of the state and local politicians stood behind the President as he addressed firefightters and took a good look at the Fire Attack base. Then, after a helicopter tour over the burned areas, he returned to the Airport to honor Boy Scouts active in clearing the Pacific Trail.
At 4:30 PM...off they went as Air Force One headed north out of the airport then turning to the east and south and right over my home in Palo Cedro. What a sight, and what a day.
A first for Redding in that this was the first seated President to visit Redding since John Kennedy when he dedicated Whiskeytown Dam in the early '60's.
Best wishes to all,
