A down-to-earth site for Clinton visit EARTH DAY 1995
April 21, 1995|By Bruce Reid | Bruce Reid,Sun Staff Writer
White House officials needed the perfect backdrop for President Clinton's Earth Day speech to the nation. They found it in Havre de Grace.
The Harford County city of 10,400 has all the right props: a stunning view of the mouth of the Susquehanna River from a charming, 200-year-old hamlet whose past and future are inexorably tied to the environmental health of the Chesapeake Bay.
"This is one of the great landscapes of America," said Glenn Eugster, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency official in Annapolis. It was Mr. Eugster's suggestion that Havre de Grace -- "harbor of grace" in English -- be the place where Mr. Clinton today will mark the 25th anniversary of the first Earth Day.
