SENATOR DOLE'S FUNERAL: ARLINGTON CEMETERY

The funeral of Senator Robert Dole. I was originally invited as a guest but I asked to go as a photographer. He and I spent a lot of time hanging out at the WWII Memorial and so it meant quite a bit personally to see him off as a photographer. Occasionally I'd get a particularly nice image and his daughter Robin would send me a note. He was a handsome guy with an easy smile. He put out the effort to shake hands with veterans so I tried to post the images so those mostly veterans who didn't have a camera could download them. I tried as much as possible to use their cameras.

He's certainly been given a spot with a nice view... from one angle, you can see the Capitol. I'd like to thank the Elizabeth Dole Foundation and the Cemetery staff for your help. Mrs. Dole giving Bob a peck is the first image I've included in this series as she took great care of him and modeled her organization after her experience caring for him.
