My grandson, Kayden, who just recently turned a year old, is already on his second president even though he has no clue yet who the president is or what he does.

I thought about Friday morning as I was watching the inauguration how many presidents there have been since I was born.

John F. Kennedy was president for the first year of my life until  he was assassinated. Here he is with the late John Glenn and Lyndon Johnson, who was president from 1963-69.

Jimmy Carter was president from 1977-81. It was neat to see him there at the inauguration given his advanced age and health issues he has had.

George H.W. Bush was president from 1989-93. I still think if he would have gotten Suddam Hussein he would have been re-elected. I hope he gets well soon, and Barbara also.

So far Reagan was my favorite.
