As people passed by, she invited them to send cards to the President for his 60th birthday. Using a manual typewriter, she typed their thoughts onto the card. With this project, Oring offered people across a broad spectrum of society a chance to extend very personal wishes to the President on this landmark birthday, thereby painting an intimate portrait of American views on the presidency halfway through his second term in office.
