I got to shake Truman’s hand when I was on a train to St. Louis and he was headed to Independence. I was going to a Synagogue Youth Organization convention and some one said Truman was in the club car shaking hands. No one else was interested but I went back and shook his hand. Nice firm grip. There was a short line and he was talking politics with various folks. I wasn’t interested in that so I went back to my seat.
BTW this is in no way an endorsement of defeatist Hillary Clinton. She is no Harry Truman. But neither is surrendercrat Obama.
