On President's Day, Dagny went for an early morning shoot and then read her fictional story about a Swedish family arriving at Ellis Island to the Daughters of the American Revolution at the Old Exchange Building. What's amazing is that as the winning students read their essays, I remembered my own entry into this country, being poked and prodded, even thought I didn't come through Ellis Island. Becoming an American is a very emotional moment. I still remember taking my oath when I turned 19 and I have a polaroid shot of that special day!

President's Day! She Does It Again
On President's Day, Dagny went for an early morning shoot and then read her fictional story about a Swedish family arriving at Ellis Island to the Daughters of the American Revolution at the Old Exchange Building. What's amazing is that as the winning students read their essays, I remembered my own entry into this country, being poked and prodded, even thought I didn't come through Ellis Island. Becoming an American is a very emotional moment. I still remember taking my oath when I turned 19 and I have a polaroid shot of that special day!
