I am not sure Robert was a single digit handicapper, but I bet he could beat President Taft!

Roger, Those are some good pictures. I read somewhere, and I forget exactly where I read this (maybe at hildene) but apparently the telescope that is in the observatory now replaced an older one that R.T.L had installed there.
I bet you that Ike would have beat both Taft and Lincoln!
