Hmmm: Butler to Presidents

This article from the Washington Post captures the story of Eugene Allen, 89, a butler who worked at the White House for over three decades and under eight Presidents. Throughout his entire career at the White House he never missed a day of work.

He was so highly regarded that just prior to his retirement President Reagan invited him and his wife to be guests at a state dinner for German Chancellor Helmut Kohl.

It's a interesting, yet ultimately sad story that I recommend you read.
