facility in San Pedro.

"Yay! We did it!" shouted Shelle Barnes.
In a lively if modest celebration, Barnes and the other residents of Pacific View, a board and care facility in San Pedro, blew air horns and cheered as they watched Barack Obama become the nation's 44th president.

inaugural prayer, exclaiming an "amen" throughout.
"It's terrific," said resident Peter Bassett. "I'm really excited we have a new president."
