45. I don't think that's true
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 04:47 PM by Strawman
First, because George Washington never shook hands

Second, because I think this might come from an article on the 200th anniversary of George Washington's death where the historian Richard Shenkman shrinks the passage of time by imagining that the daughter of Presdient Tyler (Pearl)who died in 1947 and whose father was a child during the Washington administration could have (hypothetically) held a baby Bill Clinton in her arms.

I looked this up because I thought it was a fascinating bit of trivia. Where did you learn about it from and do you have a link to a site confirming it to be true?
