Not to sound weird, but Harrison looks pretty good for someone who is 83.

Harrison sounds exactly like what we imagine his grandfather and the people of his time sounded like.

Interesting that John Tyler has two living grandsons. Blows my mind even now.

I love their southern accents. Sounds good to my ears :)

I'm guessing that their political views are the polar opposite of mine, but I love this couple anyway.

They seem like such nice people.

I wish more people knew about the Tyler presidency. Although Polk gets most of the credit, Tyler did all the heavy lifting in making Texas a state. He also hated the British with a burning passion; when he visited Niagara Falls, he refused to cross the border to get a better view.
