I've spent almost fifty years covering the US Department of Agriculture.

During my week in Virginia to visit family, I went to the USDA headquarters in the District of Columbia and spoke with the new Historian for the Department and a member of the communications staff.

Nothing High Level in this visit.  The current location of the archives is an office that is unoccupied with a large assortment of historical photos and stories.

It could be the beginning of a much larger effort to capture the spirit of one of the oldest departments of the US government.

Wayne Connelly and Stephanie Ho are my guests with a cameo visit from Layla Ginty, my grand daughter.
