President and Mrs. Herbert Hoover were entertaining his staff and their children at the party while the Marine Band played carols. The drama began when Chief Usher Ike Hoover whispered to the president, “The executive office is on fire!” President Hoover rose from the dinner table and asked the men to follow him to the West Wing. The men proceeded to rescue as many of the president’s papers as time allowed, while First Lady Lou Hoover, informed of the blaze, calmly supervised the party.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe four-alarm fire brought nineteen engine companies and four truck companies to the White House. One hundred and thirty firefighters began to battle the blaze. The bitter cold temperatures froze some of the hoses. By about 10:30 p.m., the fire was extinguished. Fire Chief George Watson reported that excessive heat from a blocked chimney flue or defective electric wiring had caused pamphlets stored in the attic to ignite, and fire had spread quickly. Congress would soon pass a special appropriation to rebuild the uninsured office wing. The Charles H. Tompkins Company of Washington, D.C., completed the work and Hoover and his aides moved back into the remodeled West Wing on April 14, 1930.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis year’s ornament design was created by art student Kayla Whelan, the winner of a national art school design competition created by the Association.

Or, that it was not until that year under First Lady Pat Nixon that the first official White House gingerbread house was created? Mrs. Nixon asked Assistant Chef Hans Raffert to build a traditional German A-frame style house for the Nixon family. Chef Raffert continued making a gingerbread house in this fashion every year until his retirement in 1992. Since then, White House gingerbread displays have become larger and more elaborate under White House Executive Pastry Chef Roland Mesnier, who oversaw the creation of festive villages, childhood homes, castles, national monuments and historic sites, and marzipan sculptures of the first families and their pets.

Walters, the longest serving chief usher in White House history, shares for the first time the extraordinary history he witnessed during thirty-seven years of White House service. While thousands of people have worked in the White House, a much smaller number have continued in their roles for more than one presidency, and even fewer have, or will ever, serve seven presidents and their families. One of those few is Gary J. Walters. Walters began his service in 1970 as an Executive Protective Service officer and joined the Usher’s Office as an assistant usher in 1976. In 1986, he assumed the responsibilities of chief usher, a position he held until January 26, 2007. In these roles he was in a unique position to observe life as lived on a daily basis in the White House by presidents Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and their families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWalters relates the history he witnessed from a unique vantage point. He explains the roles of the White House Usher's Office and the Residence staff while describing first family routines and living spaces, official and informal entertaining, the care and maintenance of the house, the importance of exercise and sport, decorating for the holidays, and the many first pets who brought comfort to the presidents. With behind-the-scenes detail he offers memories of Watergate and President Nixon’s last day in office, the Bicentennial visit of Queen Elizabeth II, the move of three Carter families into the White House, the first White House visit of the Pope, attempted presidential assassinations, surprise birthday parties, elevator conversations, Millenium celebrations, and more. Readers will learn the resources marshalled for the transition from one family to the next on Inauguration Day, the tensions as first families await outcomes on Election Day, and a nearly minute-by-minute account of what was going on at the White House on September 11, 2001.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeavily illustrated with more than 100 images. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White House Historical Association","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041260355636,"sku":"002725","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/4207\/3140\/files\/GaryWalters_WHMemories_shop.png?v=1755883404"},{"product_id":"white-house-marbleized-resin-rollerball-pen-with-truman-seal","title":"White House Marbleized Resin Rollerball Pen with Truman Seal","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eA proud symbol of American heritage and refined design, the White House Marbleized Resin Ballpoint Pen reflects the values of leadership, unity, and timeless craftsmanship.

Most notable of these was the 1902 Theodore Roosevelt renovation, and the construction of a new roof and third floor by Calvin Coolidge in 1927. The use of modern steel and concrete put tremendous strain on Hoban's timbers, so much so that by 1948 the White House was in danger of collapse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresident Harry S. Truman oversaw the most ambitious renovation in the home's history, gutting the interior down to the basement and rebuilding the interior with a steel frame.
