She was not happy her husband had been elected president. She never made it to washington. When he resigned, he and his wife and their family moved here to williamsburg. It was here that Letitia Tyler suffered a stroke. John tyler learned he was elected as Vice President of William Perry region William Henry harrison. It is here that he became 10th president of the United States, so she learned she became the first lady. She had another terrible stroke, and her husband goes into morning, and then he meets another young lovely in her 20s. I think of her as the madonna of first ladies. She posed as a model at a time that was frowned upon, by all accounts was bewitching. There were 90 slaves, and they were her supervision.

Good evening, and welcome to the Season Series of first ladies. William Henr

We have to fun
Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you so much. Please, have a seat. At the dawn of our public, a small secret Surveillance Committee born out of the sons of liberty was established in boston. The groups members included paul revere. They would patrol the streets at night, reporting any signs that the british were preparing raids against americas early patriots. In the civil war, union balloons reconnaissance tracked the size of confederate armies by tracking the number of campfires. In world war ii, codebreakers gave us insight into the japanese war plans. They intercepted communications, help save the lives of the troops. After the war, the rise of the iron curtain and Nuclear Weapons only increased the need for sustained intelligence. In the early days of the cold war, president truman created the National Security agency, or nsa, to give us insight into the soviet block and provider leaders with information they needed to confront and avert catastrophe.

Bob will speak on innovative publicprivate partnerships. Thank you very much. I will try to be brief. I think of it as a bit of an onlution in the way we Work Community development are increasingly heading.
