Nice little fact there Michael.
Thank you very much.

I must admit Calvin Coolidge is one of my favorite presidents (especially since he was for low taxes and limited government).  In fact, I have been reading Robert Sobel's Calvin Coolidge biography, Coolidge: An American Enigma, and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about President Coolidge. Another recommendation is Silent Cal's Almanack, a compilation of photos, speeches, and quotes.

There are lot of quotes by President Coolidge, which is amazing when you consider the fact that he was nicknamed "Silent Cal." That nickname undoubtedy resulted from a dinner party where a guest told President Coolidge she made a bet that she could get him to say at least three words, but only got two: "You lose."

Coolidge became president in August 1923, when President Warren Harding died, and served until 1929.  In the wake of all the scandals that plagued the Harding administration, Calvin Coolidge was credited for restoring dignity to the White House.  Although historians tend to view him negatively, Coolidge was well-liked by the general public. In addition, the late President Ronald Reagan admired him and thought he was an underrated president.

P.S. Here is clip of one of President Coolidge's speeches.
