I am from Jackson County, Mo., named for Andrew Jackson, who set out that magnolia tree over there in 1838.
We have one now who is as able as any we have ever had, and he is vitally interested in the programs for which you are working.
I am glad to see you, and hope you will come back again next year.
I hope you noticed that we fixed the weather up for you, so that you could stand here in time for the photographers to be here.
