So I like to give you a link or a picture with each entry.  This one's about the author of the book.  I told you I'd comment on books - and I finally read one for my age group or okay for an adult.  "Best Little Stories from the White House".  It's an interesting book and an easy read, but both my aunt and I found it to be long, you thougt it should be going quicker than it was.  For example it tells what the mood was like as on president left and the next moved in.  Johnson's kids left ice cream for Ford's kids, for example.  And this I just found funny.  Jackie Kennedy requested a wheel chair since she had just had a C-section prior to the tour the first lady takes in between the election and the inauguration.  Mamie Eisenhower arranged for one, but had it placed behind a curtain.  After they finish the tour, Jackie is about to collapse so she asks if they got the message about the wheelchair.  Mamie tells her yes, it was over there behind the curtian if you would have asked for it.
