       I posted this to my youtube site. You would be surprised at how many people to this day say they remember the funeral and most of all the music.

    What would you serve Queen Elizabeth if you had her over for lunch? On October 17, 1957, President and Mrs. Eisenhower gave a small luncheon for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip and they served sweetbread and prunes.

      Just spent President's Day in Abilene with two middle schoolers. Forgot how important this experience is until being in the boyhood home and chapel again.

    October 14 is Dwight D. Eisenhower’s birthday. On October 25, 1953, junior high school student John D. Burke, Jr. wrote to President Eisenhower, telling him that the two of them shared a birthday, but he also wanted to lodge a complaint about his school. “Why,” he asked, “do we school kids have to learn about adverbs, adjectives, nouns, pronouns, verbs, etc?”

    Our museum’s new exhibit on the Civil War explores the war itself and the continuing interest Americans have in the conflict. Young Philip Armour of Oakland, California, was certainly interested in the Civil War. In a letter he wrote to President Eisenhower on July 31, 1959, he enclosed several lively sketches of major battles, including this one of the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg.

    Staff at Disney studios worked on their own time to produce the short animated commercial, “We’ll Take Ike”. The lyrics for this song were written by Gil George, who was actually Hazel George. She was first hired as a nurse at Disney Studios. After her knack for writing was discovered she wrote song lyrics for The Mickey Mouse Club and a number of Disney animated feature films.

    On September 25, 1952 Republican presidential candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower watches his running mate, Richard Nixon, make his famous televised Checkers Speech. This scene was in a side room in Cleveland's Public Hall. (62-357-1)

    Hear ye, hear ye, this cake in the shape of Constitution is ready to be served!

    In honor of the 225th anniversary of the Constitution, the National Archives served up a special program about the signing of the Constitution and some cake. Each cake was decorated with an edible page of the Constitution.
