Ron Knecht) Presidents’ Day fell on February 15 this year, and the birthday of our first and greatest chief executive, George Washington, was February 26. The birthdays of two of our other greatest presidents also occurred that month: Abe Lincoln, February 14; and Ronald Reagan, February 6.
So, it seems to me timely to discuss how the preparations of our 46th president, Joe Biden, compares with theirs. (Personal apology: I started this column two weeks ago but was recovering from knee replacement and couldn’t finish it until now.)
George Washington was born in 1732 to a wealthy Virginia family that had made its fortune in land speculation on the frontier. Washington was the oldest of six children of his parents, and his father had three children by a previous marriage. His older half-brother Lawrence inherited the estate that eventually became Washington’s Mount Vernon when Lawrence left it to Washington.
