Junior Rob Nobrega joins Prof Watson, McGovern at Truman’s ‘Little White House’

Ran into Junior – and budding politico – Rob Nobrega the other day in the caf. Rob’s around all summer working with Pine Tree Camps. But before he got started over there, and just a day or so after finishing his exams, he was squeezing in some time for a trip to Key West for the rededication of President Truman’s ‘Little White House.’ The event was arranged by our own Dr. Robert Watson, a Truman fan and author, who sits on the board down there.
In addition to soaking up some Key West sunshine, Rob was rubbing shoulders with the big names on hand including former presidential candidate and Congressman George McGovern and former Truman aid Ken Hechler. This wasn’t a new experience for Rob, of course. Lynn hosted Hechler on campus two years ago and his class did an interview with McGovern by phone this past semester.
The action was caught by The Citizen, the local paper in Key West. The photo above shows George McGovern on the left, Dr. Watson in the middle, and Ken Hechler on the right.
