Presidential Partners: Ready or Reluctant, with Richard Klein

Presidential Partners: Ready or Reluctant, with Richard Klein
May 2, 2024 @ 2:45-4:00pm 
Since the US officially became a country, we’ve had 45 different presidents (Grover Cleveland was numbers 22 and 24). This has given us well over 50 First Ladies (or First Lady substitutes). All with different reactions to being thrust into the spotlight only the White House provides. Some could not wait to get in. Others gritted their teeth and counted the days before they could leave. Richard has some great stories to tell us – many tales of woe and just as many of triumph – involving a very diverse group of women. Each had a unique vantage point of the top job, the presidency. Richard is an amateur historian who has been fascinated with First Ladies since he was a child.
