Kyle enjoyed hearing the Mr. Clinton introduce various economic and workforce initiatives in the Delta, and was excited about the idea of being President one day. Accompanying his father (Robert Stephens, Marianna, AR native), he rarely misses an opportunity to hear or see Mr. Clinton, whether in his home state of Maryland or in Arkansas.

Bill Clinton and Ricardo Ordóñez

The photo was taken on Sunday, August 13, 2000 during the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles. It was in the lobby of the St. Regis Hotel where I was a volunteer for the White House Staff during the convention. It was one of the greatest moments of my life since I am the first member of my immediate and extensive family to ever meet a sitting president. The photo opportunity was arranged by my good friend and President Clinton Deputy Chief of Staff, Maria Echaveste.
