Re: age -- I'm old enough to remember Ike (bearly), but not old enough to remember Cal.

Ike was in office from about the fourth grade until my junior year in HS.

In those days we had neighborhood grammar schools and most of us went home for lunch (Campbell's Soup and PB+J sandwich). Big Brother Bob Emory was on Boston TV then and every noontime we would have a milk toast to the President.

It all seems so innocent and far away from today, a different country.

Ike is one of the most underratted presidents in history.
