Met Ford, Reagan, Bush I, and Clinton at small social events. They were former presidents by then.

Met Bush II at a couple small fundraising events while he was serving as president.

Met with Obama, Trump and Biden in business discussions and at small fundraising events while they were serving as president.

Also met with Biden numerous times over the years when he was in the Senate, including at small fundraisers he hosted at his home in Wilmington.

Had a family friend that used to play golf with W. Said he was actually super smart and would alpha the shite out of a crowd.
He’s also a very good portrait artist.

My Dad interviewed Reagan a couple of times during his first campaign. Reagan insisted he called him Ronnie rather than governor. My Dad grew up a life long democrat, his experience with Reagan made him reconsider his party affiliation and eventually switched parties.

W Bush. Well, technically he wasn’t president it was two weeks before the election and I was going over Florida with him. Than again after the election but a shorter convo.

Not a real conversation but Bush Sr. called my family after my dad died in 1991. I was 12. My dad was a POW in Korea for 18 months and had some pretty bad shite done to him according to the limited records we have.



I'm confused. Was this one of those repatriation of remains situations?

I was too. I think he’s saying that his dad got f’d up as a POW during the Korean War, but didn’t die until 1991.

Met Clinton when I was 14 after he won the presidency. My dad and I were at a McDonald’s and he came in wearing his running outfit along with the secret service.

It was a cool moment back then but that’s before I realized how evil him and his wife were.

No. He came home after 18 months in spring of 1953. It was supposedly why we got a phone call from the President though. Sorry for the confusion.

Yea spoke with George W. In the oval for 10-15 minutes or my family did.

My brother worked in his admin (he was a young lower staff so don’t get all pissy if you hate W)

At the end of his 2nd term he invited the immediate family of his staff to the Oval Office for a brief chat and photo. I was in junior high and just finished a football game the night before so he asked me about that and I told him we got destroyed by JA and it was unfair because they have over twice the players we did

He spoke with my dad about community bank environment which is kinda ironic considering this was 2008

Shook hands with Nixon when I was a kid. That's all I got.
