This is something you've probably never heard before: It's a 1927 speech by president Calvin Coolidge honoring aviation hero Charles Lindbergh. (Lindy, of course, had successfully flown solo from New York to Paris in May 1927.) Coolidge's quirky New England accent makes its appearance a couple of times.

I've never really rated Kris as a singer but as a writer, well that's another thing all together.

President Calvin Coolidge (right) works out with Indian clubs, circa 1925. Of course a serious fitness buff always exercises while wearing a tie.

This photo of president Calvin Coolidge's family was taken on June 30, 1924. Sixteen-year-old Calvin Junior is on the left. That same day young Calvin developed a blister on his foot while playing tennis with older brother John on the White House tennis court. The blister became infected, resulting in blood poisoning. There were no antibiotics in 1924. He died a week later on July 7. I often use this story as an example of the 'good old days' not being so good if one became ill.
