For more than three decades Eugene Allen worked in the White House, a black man unknown to the headlines…He saw eight presidential administrations come and go, often workingsix days a week. "I never missed a day of work," Allen says... Do yourself a favor and read this amazing story posted last Friday on the Washington Post website. And if you get a bit teary-eyed at the end, it’s okay…we did too.

Awww…thanks for that it was awesome (and so bittersweet)
I did get teary at the end. What a sweet and amazing historial story and love story. I’m excited our country has taken this new step towards, what I can only hope, a new way of looking at life.
Such a bitter sweat story.
Oh good God I’m sobbing! I hope Gene goes to the White House for the inauguration!
What a beautiful story! Thank you for giving us the link.
Thanks for that!
I saw that story in the Seattle Times a few days ago, and thought the ending was so sad.
That definitely had me in tears, thanks for the link to such a moving story.
What an incredible story!
What a beautiful story. Thanks EW for sharing.
…and now I’m depressed. It was such a great story, and the end just devastated me.
Thanks for sharing this.
Wook, you did what I thought was unimaginable — gave me a soft spot for Nancy Reagan. Thanks, good story.
Not the ending I was expecting, despite the warning. (And, I too am tearing up.) Thanks so much for sharing that touching story.
I know you said I’d tear up but I wasn’t expecting that ending!
Beautiful article. She died before seeing Obama in office. I really hope Obama invite him to the White House for dinner. This article also made me think differently of Nancy and President Regan.
