Happy Birthday, Mr. President!


Today is President Calvin Coolidge's birthday.  On July 4, 1872, Coolidge was born.  So instead of sharing a quote from President Coolidge I'll share a short story.

After President Coolidge announced he would not seek a second full term, his wife and him some years later went to lunch with famous theatrical figure Otis Skinner and his wife. Mrs. Skinner said to him: "I wish it were you that we were able to vote for in November! It would be the end of this terrible Depression." Coolidge said " Yeah, but it would be the beginning of mine!"

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!
