Truman for me as well. I have an early memory of Gen. Douglas MacArthur being recalled from Korea, and my father being worried that he would attempt some sort of coup d'etat.

Although both my parents were died-in-the-wool FDR Democrats, I had "I Like Ike" pins as did so many of the other oldsters here. I guess he stuck with me, as I have always voted Republican.

I also like Ike. But the first I recall was JFK. And that terrible day in November.

This. HST was president, but I wasn't old enough to be aware of such things until Ike was in office.

Two months after JFK. Born in Canada. Nixon was the first I remembered and Reagan was the first President I voted for.

Well I had to look because I thought it was Carter but it was Ford. Definitely don’t remeber Ford and can’t really say I can recall much of Carter, Reagan was the first I remember. 1975
