Theme was Presidential offspring. I found some I’d never heard of (Doud Eisenhower and Doro Bush Koch, for instance) and some I’d heard of maybe once long ago (Patrick Kennedy and J.A. Roosevelt). It’s interesting to me how many of our Presidents have had to deal with children dying at a very young age.

I had never heard of Doud - I asked Sting yesterday if he had - he is a big historian - he thought maybe he was a child of Teddy - so much for what he knew.

I knew Dubya had a sister, I had no idea what her name was.

It’s interesting to me how many of our Presidents have had to deal with children dying at a very young age.

Up until about a century ago, that tragedy was commonplace; a quarter to a third of all children didn't survive to adulthood. When we get to more modern time, as with Patrick Kennedy, that becomes far rarer and, thus, more shocking.
