Day 136 - Diana, A Celebration



The Diana, a Celebration exhibit was on display at Union Station in Kansas City.  It was a  bittersweet walk down memory lane, seeing her wedding dress with the 25' train and many other outfits that she had worn during her reign as Princess of Wales.  There were diaries and home movies, ballet shoes and trinkets, all part of her personal collection which the public could now see.  Most moving were the travelogues of her charitable trips in which she personally greeted and touched so many lives.  It seemed fitting to support an organization that was of interest to her, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, a 1997 Nobel Peace Prize Co-Laureate.  The month of March 2011, marks the 12th anniversary of the beginning of the Mine Ban Treaty, supported by 60 countries around the world, the U.S. not among them.
