[debodun]

In the U.S. is the third Monday in February. These are the items I have that can related to presidents.

"In McKinley we trust, in Bryan we bust", that's great. William Jennings Bryan was the perennial loser in presidential contests, a hard-core socialist in the days of anarchist terrorists under every bed (they were real, one shot and killed McKinley). Bryan's home in Lincoln, Nebraska isn't too far from where I live. Bryan ran as a trust buster, but as it turned out Teddy Roosevelt (he took over from McKinley) was the real trust buster, taking on the coal industry. That's McKinley and Roosevelt in the lower left badge.

Deb, did you read the copy of Teddy Roosevelt's autobiography? I didn't know he wrote one. Was it a good read?

 

[debodun]

Yes I did, but a long time ago. It's a big book, but a good read. He had an adventurous life!

Deb,
Do you have any information on the Mount Rushmore mug?

Nice collection! I have nothing like it, a few presidential pictures in my wallet is all...

My son came home from kindergarten one day and told me they talked about President April Ham Lincoln.

You know you’ve been reading too many Regency Era books when (in a period of mind-numbing boredom) you find yourself comparing the different Presidents cravats on dollar bills. Yes, I am guilty

 

[Remy]

My word Deb, is there anything you don't have?

 

[Senenity]

Omg, Remy took the words out of my mouth.

Might as well open up a mini museum in your beloved parents name.

My word Deb, is there anything you don't have?

I'm beginning to wonder that myself. I used to tell people that my house was the equivalent of Felix the Cat's magic bag. Whatever you're looking for, there it is.
