Me and another guy were siting on a bench eating and a woman came up and said she wanted to take a picture of the bench. i asked if that's her favorite bench and she said she met her husband on that bench. it was very romantic.    I moved of course and the happy picture was taken.

That's cool Mike.

Did the VA have a booth? 

When I was new and lacked seniority I had to do what they called outreach. In reality it was sitting around booths at State Fairs blabbing about disability and healthcare services for Veterans.

I hated it passionately. Old Vets would come by all day and brag about how they killed 100 Japs on Saipan or Iwo Jima...

I was new at the time, newbies always had to do that stuff.

Oddly my limitations didn't include years of facilitating groups of former P.OW.s  and Purple Heart recipients crying, shaking and confronting the emotional realities of combat and indefinite imprisonment.

Didn't see a VA booth, it was interesting - maybe 3% of people wore masks but a few sad little booths/bldgs had masks required signs - like the U of M - 3 or 4 young masked college kids standing outside their bldg wearing masks with no one inside. The woke WCCO building also had a big "please social distance" sign out - it's a busy state fair with thousands of people walking by and they do that. What are they thinking?
