VP Beast Butler?

Interesting, Wild Bill. If I remember, even President Harry Truman's mother (from Missouri) has strong southern feelings and refused to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom when a guest at the White House (although the accuracy of that is in question)

That is an ugly part of our history that should not be swept under the rug and ignored.
for good or bad, my source regarding Martha Ellen Young Truman is wikipedia
