A year ago, I attended my first political rally featuring then - Republican frontrunner Donald Trump who spoke at the Oral Roberts University Mabee Center.
A picture of me with my now collector's item credential is posted with this blog.
Friday, along with millions across the country, I witnessed him take the oath and become the 45th President of the United States. Significant to this is that it was one year to the date...almost to the minute that he was here in Tulsa.
So today, I am in surreal awe of what has taken place. Had this been any other day and not Inauguration day this wouldn't be such a surreal thing.
I covered the event as a journalist and I remember after it was over asking my photographer, whom I had ridden with to the event if he thought Trump might win. Neither one of us could see him actually pulling it off but, to be fair, he was in a field of 17 candidates at the time.
Boy we were wrong.
