As winter winds its way to a close, snow has continued to fall this week in Washington. Kelly sent me a link to today’s Pic of the Week suggesting I tweet it. I liked it so much I thought it deserved to be today’s post.
Not only is it a fun photo, but it has Congressional pages! As a former House page during the summer of 1994 (more than twenty years ago? That can’t be right!), I still have an affinity for the program that helped lead me to Washington, DC, where I continue to work for Congress at their Library.
The History, Art & Archives website of the House of Representatives has a great publication on the History of the House Page Program. Although the House program no longer exists, the Senate program is still going strong.
