Dwight D. Eisenhower...1959...49 stars... With the admittance of Alaska and Hawaii, this is the last year in which states are added to the union. Bill was 13 and still is.
Eisenhower was President when I was born! Except for Franklin D Roosevelt, every President since Hoover has been alive in my lifetime! Eight have died in my lifetime:
Kennedy (1963)
Hoover (1964)
Eisenhower (1969)
Truman (1972)
Johnson (1973)
Nixon (1994)
Reagan (2004)
Ford (2006)
Also, Obama is the first President in my lifetime younger than me!
FDR was the prez and Hoover was still alive when I arrived. My first interest in politics started in 1940 when Wilkie ran against FDR. I have no remembrance why I was interested at 7 years of age.
Come to think of it. That's probably what I was doing at fifteen as well. lol
A wad of Bill's!
