My Dad hated him
My Mom loved him
And in that regard
My family was America
Even though Franklin Roosevelt
Was dead before I was born

Bezango: Rutherford B. Hayes Slept Here, Oct. 1880
Olympia Power & Light, sometime in October, 2010
It's a big deal whenever a President visits the Oly area. The last sitting President to come to these parts was Harry Truman, although Gerald Ford visited Lacey when he was Vice-President in 1974.
The only President to visit McCleary was Franklin Roosevelt. He drove slowly through here waving at citizens in an open car while passing through to visit the Coast. All the schoolchildren lined up to cheer, but anti-union Henry McCleary ordered his workers to stay away.
