Butler To Eight Presidents Poem by Saiom Shriver

*

Footnote: Oprah Winfrey has
made a movie about Eugene Allen
called The Butler. News reports said he
was trained after his father's
murder on a plantation to enter a
room and know the room was still empty
(to be so soundless people were not aware
of his presence) . He was
married for 65 years.
He wept at Obama's inauguration.
He had served during the
administrations of Truman
through Reagan. Nancy Reagan
invited him as a guest to a White
House dinner.
