I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
- HBF_221202_012.JPG: Artist Peter Waddell is copying two of his own works, "Tiber Creek: The Bathers, John Quincy Adams Takes a Deadly Chance" and "A Vision Takes Form: the White House Under Construction, 1796".
- HBF_221202_039.JPG: John Hutton (left)
- HBF_221202_087.JPG: Rocco Smirne is the six-year old with his dad. He was here promoting his book "Rocco Travels With The Presidents!" The book is described on the WHHA site as:
Every president of the United States has to travel to attend important events and to meet people around the world. For more than two hundred years, the presidents have taken journeys on horses, trains, ships, cars, airplanes, and helicopters. Sometimes, just for fun, they have also used bicycles, golf carts, and even parachutes! Rocco is six years old, but he already knows a great deal about the White House and the presidents and the places he would like to go too, so he created this book to share some of the adventures he would have if he could travel with the presidents! Rocco travels through time and around the world to ride horses with Abraham Lincoln and bicycles with Jimmy Carter. He boards trains for a trip out west with Grover Cleveland and a New York jaunt with Franklin Roosevelt. He has fun riding in Lyndon Johnson's Amphicar and Joe Biden's Corvette. He ends the book with his favorite trip of all: a flight on Marine One.
This title is the fourth in a continuing series of children's books launched by the White House Historical Association in 2020 with A White House Alphabet and Presidents Play!
