Fun facts about this president: As a young man, he was a wrestler. He won every match except one. He didn't grow that iconic beard until he got elected president, and even then it was only because someone sent him a letter suggesting that he do so. Rumor has it that the reason why he wore the tall hat was so he could keep his speech notes in it. A RU-vid video singled him out as the president with the best facial hair. He was the tallest president at six foot four. Because of his height, when he was shot and taken to the boarding house, he didn't fit in any of the beds. In the end, they had to position him diagonally on the bed!
Their last meeting was before Abraham's presidential inauguration. She was like a real mother to him. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Id3Uq7tlwTc.html
