OLD friend's comment in chat group....
Rusty xxxxxx When I was 6 or 7, my mother dragged me to the fabrics store (referred to as the "yard goods" store) while she shopped. She pointed to an older man who was obviously as bored as I was, whose wife was shopping. "Do you know who that is?" my mother said excitedly. When I said no, she whispered "That's President Truman!" Those were the days.
Been a while..... |

My Grandfather almost ran over President Truman on his Indian Scout in the 50's while Mr. Truman was out for a walk in his Independence, MO neighborhood. Brake failure. Gramps laid the bike down, and Mr Truman assisted my grandfather, who was unharmed. He told him "I damn near hit ya!"
My father met President Truman when he worked as a bus-boy at Stevenson's Restaurant (Independence, MO) in the 60's. |
