Bertie

We stopped in West Branch, Iowa to visit the Herbert Hoover presidential library and museum. I have been here before a couple of years ago. The photo shows where Herbert and Lou Hoover are buried. His father and grandfather built the house where he was born. On the property is also a blacksmith shop and a Quaker meeting house. In the Quaker meeting house men and women sit on separate sides. In the blacksmith shop were three stools marked Tad, Bertie, and Mary. West Branch seems like a peaceful town and I am glad Hoover and his wife got to spend time there after the time in the White House.
