"Tom Lea's Rio Grande also hangs in the Oval Office and it reminds the President of our good friend.

It is the sunrise side, not the sunset side. It is the side to see the day coming; not the side to see the day that is gone. The best day is the day coming with eyes wide open and the heart grateful.'"
