Summary

Smithsonian Secretary S. Dillon Ripley tells a brief anecdote about President Lyndon B. Johnson and Smithsonian Chancellor, Chief Justice Earl Warren. Warren's comment on "minding the store" turns Ripley's thoughts to the three former Smithsonian Secretaries still residing at The Castle. They are Charles G. Abbot, Dr. Alexander Wetmore, and Dr. Leonard Carmichael. Ripley expresses his gratitude with having these men nearby.
