These locals included 100 kindergartners who were off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz. However, they didn't get to see the performance after getting stuck in traffic for 90 minutes. This was their first ever field trip and many of them had been looking forward to it for months.
One grownup said this about the visit. "If he can sneak in and out of Baghdad without anybody knowing it, it seems like he could slip in and out of L.A. without disrupting rush hour - twice."
Well, he didn't. And as a result, 100 kids will have this as their first field trip memory. I still remember my first field trip. I had won a writing contest (the Arizona Young Authors something-or-other) and I got to go to ASU to see some guest speakers. The person I was most excited about seeing? Bil Keane, creator of "The Family Circus".
What can I say? I was 7 at the time.
