Happy Fourth of July

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying this Fourth of July.

Letter from George H.W. Bush
Today I was searching for a special American key to commemorate the holiday. What I came across is very much not a key, but a letter from former President George H.W. Bush. 
In 1989, a member of the Baldpate Family, MacKenzie Smith, requested a copy of the key to the White House to add to our collection. President Bush replied and said:

"It is the votes of the American people that open the door to the White House"

Let this be a Fourth of July reminder to use this "key" of voting to help America achieve her full potential.
