Yes, Lou Hoover spoke Mandarin Chinese well, her husband less well. (Me? I'm Australian and struggle with English)

Darn, I knew that one! The Hoovers were said to speak it in general at the White House to avoid eavesdropping by staff.

I also wondered about Mrs. Coolidge, who worked with deaf children; but she taught in a school that forbid the use of American Sign Language. The children were forced into verbalizing.

In October, the Surratt Society will hold its annual fall banquet and the speaker will be the well-known Andrew Och, a historian, author, and producer who specializes in the biographies of the First Ladies. Visit http://www.firstladiesman.com
