The event honoring Ambassador Joseph Petrone and his wife, Augusta was a long one as there a number of folks that have very fond memories of them and wanted to share them with the Petrones in saying thanks for their service as well as in celebration of the Ambassador’s birthday (hey, a birthday is ALWAYS a time for celebration, isn’t it?). The next two videos:
- NH GOP RNC Committeewoman Julianna Bergeron with a bouquet of flowers for Augusta Petrone followed by Augusta’s remarks (you HAVE to smile at Augusta’s opening word!)
- NH Congressman Charlie Bass (R, NH-CD2) offering his praise for the Petrones and their dedication to the country and New Hampshire.

Please note: the lighting was not optimal – Jim Foley (M.C.) made a couple of jokes about the “teleprompters” – actually LED light boxes supplied by this humble blogger as the event staff asked “please bring them – the lighting is poor”. I have come to realize that yet another upgrade to the equipment may be in order as to have deployed them correctly would have detracted from the event and gotten in the way of the audience. The result is that the videos ARE darker than what I would have liked – apologies offered.
