- Ethel Barrymore

31. Harry S. Truman - Loved his attitude "The buck stops here" and "If you can't stand the heat, you better get out of the kitchen."

Franklin D. Roosevelt was related by blood or marriage to 11 past presidents. He was the first president to be seen on a television set.

Herbert Hoover was the first president to DONATE his salary to charity.

30. Calvin Coolidge became president when Warren Harding died. He had a reputation as a small-government conservative. We sure could use a little of that now!

29. Warren G. Harding was the first president to own a radio. Both his parents were doctors.

28. Woodrow Wilson is the only president buried in Washington D.C. He was a major advocate for the women's suffrage.

27. William Taft his wife was responsible for the planting of the Japanese Cherry trees. He got stuck in the bathtub as he weighed over 300 lbs. A new one was ordered.

26. Theodore Roosevelt was the first president to travel outside the U.S. He was the youngest president at 42.

25. William McKinley was the first president to use the telephone while campaigning. He was assasinated, shot twice and died eight days later.

23. Benjamin Harrison was the grandson of president William H. Harrison. He was the only president from Indiana, though he was born in Ohio and moved to Indianapolis at age 21.

22. & 24. Grover Cleveland is the only president to be elected to two non consecutive terms. His daughter Esther is the only child born in the White House.

21. Chester Arthur had 24 wagon loads of furniture and items removed from the White House before he moved in. Sounds like an episode of Hoarders

20. James Garfield was the last of seven presidents to have been born in a log cabin. He was the first left handed president.

19. Rutherford Hayes fought and was wounded in the Civil War. His presidency saw the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. Reminded me of Monopoly - http://ping.fm/ZUK43

18. Ulysses S. Grant was the first President to sign a congressional civil rights act. While president he once was fined for driving his horse too fast.

17. Andrew Johnson became president after Lincoln's death. He isued the Amnesty Proclamation, pardoning all Confederates except those with property in excess of $20,000.

16. Abraham Lincoln known as the nation's greatest president he was also the tallest at 6'4". He issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.

15. James Buchanan considered the essence of good self-government to be founded on restrain. Now there's a novel idea, anyone think the present government could give that a try?

14. Franklin Pierce had three boys, all of whom died young. He installed the first central heating system in the White House.

13. Millard Fillmore was born in a log cabin. He had the first bathtub and kitchen stove installed in the White House.

12. Zachary Taylor served in the military for 40 years before becoming president at age 62. He also died in office.

11. James Polk, I was surprised to read " Polk attempted to make a more orderly house. He never challenged anyone to a duel no matter how much they insulted his honor as was customary then " There wouldn't be anyone left standing if they had duels today.

Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement

10. John Tyler was president from 1841-1845. I find it amazing that he has TWO living grandchildren!

9. William Harrison was the first president to die in office. He served 30 days.

8. Martin Van Buren was the first president born in the US. He served from 1837-1841. The Panic of 1837 started a 5 year depression at that time was the worst economic crisis of the nation's history.

7. Andrew Jackson was the only president to serve in the War of 1812 and the Revoluntionary War. He was also the only president of a DEBT FREE United States. Yes, you read that correctly.....debt free!!!

6. John Quincy Adams reduced the national debt from 16 million to 5 million, keep in mind this was in years 1825-1829

5. James Monroe - Known for the Monroe Doctrine which stated that the US would not tolerate further European intervention in the Americas. Wonder what he'd think of the economic side of it today!

4. James Madison is known as the "Father of the Bill of Rights". He was the shortest president at 5'4".

3. Thomas Jefferson's library of 6,000 books were purchased and were the basis of the Library of Congress

2. John Adams is the oldest living president at 90 years 247 days.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!

A little boy asked his father, "Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?"
And the father replied, "I don't know, son, I'm still paying for it."

•The Italian city of Verona, where Shakespeare's lovers Romeo and Juliet lived, receives about 1,000 letters addressed to Juliet every Valentine's Day.

•Richard Cadbury invented the first Valentines Day candy box in the late 1800s

•Parents receive 1 out of every 5 valentines

•California produces 60 percent of American roses, but the vast number sold on Valentine's Day in the United States are imported, mostly from South America. Approximately 110 million roses, the majority red, will be sold and delivered within a three-day time period.

•About 1 billion Valentine's Day cards are exchanged in US each year. That's the largest seasonal card-sending occasion of the year, next to Christmas.

•Worldwide, over 50 million roses are given for Valentine's Day each year.

http://ping.fm/QngED

•Men buy most of the millions of boxes of candy and bouquets of flowers given on Valentine's Day

•In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.

•In order of popularity, Valentine's Day cards are given to teachers, children, mothers, wives, sweethearts and pets.

•73% of people who buy flowers for Valentine's Day are men, while only 27 percent are women.

•In Medieval times, girls ate unusual foods on St Valentine's Day to make them dream of their future husband.
