Okay, so we missed getting tickets to Glenn Beck's program at the Kennedy Center (they ended up distributing them the night before so people camping out would leave the premises), so we strolled along the Potomac from the Kennedy Center to the Lincoln Monument. Nearing the awesome statue of Abe Lincoln, we heard a familiar voice being broadcast over the area. I looked at LeGrand, "Glenn Beck?"
Giant projection screens and sound equipment were obviously being tested for the big Glenn Beck Divine Destiny Rally scheduled for the next day. We listened for a moment to Beck during his sound check and decided to stand where we thought he would exit. Sure enough, five minutes later his cute wife and son came right next to us. As she was passing I said to her, "Utah loves the Becks!" She actually turned to find me, waved and said, "Thank you."
A few minutes later the Glennster himself came close to us and just before he got to us, he started shaking hands with those of us lining his escape route. Yes, I shook Beck's hand and then got a "kind of" shot of him shaking hands with LeGrand.

| Beck was very kind to those waiting to catch a glimpse of him. It's that sort of goofy humility combined with earnest purpose and sound principles that makes him interesting. |
 |
| His wife is way better looking than he is. Just shows he has good judgement. |
