Did you also know that only a presidential decree can open the vault at Ft Knox (which is really a military base with the Gold Depository built there). Interesting facts one learns about things! LOL

It didn't say that they were his first and second children! But yes he was 71 and 75.

When I saw your title I braced myself for something controversial. Thanks for finding an interesting bit of Presidential trivia that can't start an argument!

I too almost didn't open this post because I was afraid it would be contraversial; what a pleasant surprise. These would make good trivial pursuit questions.
