Who Was It When You Were Born?....

So I have this thing.. yes! Another thing.... but I play this game w/ myself to keep my mind occupied when I have nothing to do or feel as if I am losing it due to lack of use....My current profession does not allow me to use a lot of brain power and to THINK really hard, so I have to keep up...
I have learned all the 50 states and their Capitol cities... can name them in under four minutes....(good for me..) and then I became interested in getting to know about all the presidents and who they were and what they were all about....So now I can name all the presidents... I am finding presidential trivia brilliant. For those of you who could care less... try this...

My Grandmother on my father's side was born in 1903. Although she was born in Italy... in 1903 Theodore Roosevelt was into his first term as the 26th president. TR was also the first president of the 20th century. TR was the youngest man to be President at age 42.

When she moved to America in 1910, Howard Taft was the 27th President.

My Grandfather on my father's side was born in 1899. (although he was born in Messina Sicily) The president then was William McKinley. He was the 25th President. Six months into McKinley's second term as President, he was shot and nine days later he died.I don't know how old my grandfather was when he came to America.

My dad was born in 1924, and Calvin Coolidge was the 30th President of the United States. dad passed in 2008, so he lived through...Coolidge, Hoover,Roosevelt,Truman,Eisenhower,Kennedy, Johnson,Nixon,Ford,Carter,Reagan,Bush,Clinton and Bush...a span of 84 years.

My mother was born in 1938...Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the US. FDR spent twelve years as President. No one has done that but him. He was actually elected four times but passed away in office the first month into his fourth term.

My brother Paul was born in 1952, and Harry S.Truman was the 33rd President. Truman would arise at 5am each day and play piano for two hours before beginning his day as President.

My sister was born in 1965-Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President. Johnson did not give an inaugural address when sworn into office in1963, because he was sworn in on Air Force One after the death of President Kennedy.
I was born in 1969-(ahh flower power) and again LBJ was in his last year as President....

The neat thing about all this is when you think of our history we have had 44 Presidents. Obama being the 44th....It's not all that much for a nation as young as ours, but we have come a long way...some for the good , some for the not so good.
Here is some of my Favorite trivia....
1. Jimmy Carter was the first president born in a hospital. All the presidents before him were born at home.
2.Martin Van Buren, the 8th president was the fist Citizen of the America Nation elected president. 1-7+9 were subjects of the American Colonies or even England subjects because they were born before America was "technically" a nation.
3.Andrew Jackson and Abe Lincoln were both completely self educated and Woodrow Wilson was the only President to hold a PHD.
4. Abe Lincoln was the first President born outside of the Original Thirteen Colonies"
5.Ulysses. S Grant was arrested when he was the 18th President for riding his horse to fast down the streets of Washington DC. We was to pay a 20$ fine.
So who was President when you were born and what do you know about him?
