RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 11-26-2015
Thanks for trying, Gene and Eva, but it's neither of those.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 11-26-2015
Ford?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 11-26-2015
I am sorry, Eva, but it's not Ford. Think earlier.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Jim Page - 11-26-2015
Coolidge?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 11-26-2015
I am sorry, Jim, but it's not Coolidge.

Franklin Roosevelt?
I am a huge FDR fan. I remember reading that Roosevelt traveled to his property at Warm Springs every Thanksgiving to be with his fellow polio patients. Roosevelt always carved the turkey. One year, I think he said something like, "now, we get busy, and commit murder," before carving.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 11-26-2015
Kudos, Paige! FDR is right. Very good! You and your family win best wishes for a most wonderful Thanksgiving.

Kudos, Paige - thanks for that tidbit!

One can see that FDR is attacking a drumstick, but I am curious to know how the neck portion of the bird was "concocted" because it appears to have been cut off more before cooking so that the stuffing could be fancily shown.

Before the last turkey has been digested, here's another plume-y pal to guess who saw no pardon by whom?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 11-27-2015
William Howard Taft?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 11-27-2015
Good guess, Gene, but this was not Taft's turkey!
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 11-27-2015
Well, Eva, it was not Ronald Reagan...
![[Image: 2015110001reagan.jpg]](http://www.catholic.org/files/images/ins_news/2015110001reagan.jpg)
so I shall guess John F. Kennedy.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 11-27-2015
The Reagan turkey was smart, wasn't he? At least he tried to escape instead of wearing the dinner invitation as a necklace!
Very close, Roger, but it was not Kennedy's turkey who presented himself like above.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 11-27-2015
Hint #1: Theoretically (as for the natural life expectancy of a turkey) the turkey could have met the Kennedys, too (this goes for both sides of approaching the Kennedy era).
