Interesting. Cool to hear things that make them more human and easier to relate to. My favorite probably has to be that Quincy Adams regularly skinny dipped.

So Bush junior and William Henry Harrision both enjoy goats and Coolidge supplies the Vaseline. What a trio those three would make for each other.

Well...the only one I didn't know ...or remember was Franklin Peirce swore his oath on a law book and not the bible! My new favorite President!!! At least he had the stones to admit what most Presidents wont.

And a little extra tidbit about Andrew Johnson, he indeed was very drunk during his inauguration speech. And even vomited into the top hat he was wearing at the time.

I have a first printing of 'Barrak the Barbarian'. Not that impressive, but a nice addition to the collection.

(Mrs. Kennedy, conveniently, was away.) They embarked on an affair that lasted 18 months, until Nov. 15, 1963,
