FROM DAVID KENDALL

This past summer I juggled at the White House for the President! I was working as an intern in my congressman's office (Lawrence Coughlin, Republican, 13th District, Pennsylvania), and he got me invited to a White House picnic for congressmen and their families. There were other performers at the picnic (singers, dancers, a magician) and President Carter spent time watching each one. He watched me for ten to fifteen minutes. I got a chance to speak to him, and he said he enjoyed my act very much.

I also spoke to Amy Carter, Mrs. Carter, Dr. Schlesinger, and a number of congressmen. It was incredible!

I go to school in Connecticut and I juggled on a local Hartford TV show in mid- November. The show is called "Corsair & Co." I did a five minute act, and found it quite different to perform on television.

[Editor's note: David enclosed with his letter copies of news clippings from page 14 of the August 1, 1977, edition of The Times Herald of Norristown, Pennsylvania, and from the July 28, 1977, edition of the Pittsburgh Press. The latter includes a picture showing President Carter, Amy, and lots of other people watching David perform on the South Lawn of the White Ho use.]
