Medford resident Vicki Mansfield fell to pieces. "Oh my god," she screamed. Tears were streaming down her face. She threw her arms around each person standing next to her. Her body was trembling as she gushed her relief and joy.
"He is really here!" she cried. "It's been such a long wait. It's absolutely amazing. This is history, huge history in the making. Oh my god."
