Shook hands with Bush Jr. when I was a kid on the White House lawn back before 9/11

No, but many years ago I got to shake the hand of General Omar Bradley. I was only a boy of 13, but I knew who he, Patton and Eisenhower were, and I was enamored and overcome by the emotion of shaking the hand and giving my affection to such a great American, who truly loved and led his soldiers in so many momentous battles in Europe. Even as a 13 year old boy at the time, I also saluted him and thanked him for his great leadership. It was at a West Point Plebe-Parent/family weekend for my older brother when West Point invites the families of Plebes (Freshmen) late in the Spring semester before they become 2nd year cadets. I'll never forget it.
That's the best I can do, sorry.... nope...no Presidents (yet).

when I was a kid President Ford made a campaign stop at the beach park in Pascagoula and I got to shake his hand. I was only about 12-13 at the time but I still remember it clearly.

I shook Bill Clinton's hand and got his autograph when I was 10. Now I'm terrified of what he had on his hand when I shook it.

No but I've seen the two greatest Presidents of my lifetime in person (Reagan and Trump).

I shook George W Bush’s hand in the Oval Office. My brother was on his staff and he invited all the family’s of staff to the White House for a meet and greet. It was great we talked a little baseball and he and my parents chatted for about 15 minutes. He was very down to earth

Yes as to both.

Shook hands with Ronald Reagan when he was campaigning for president at the LSU Assembly Center. Shook his hand once and then got back at the end of the line and shook it again. He looked at me funny the second time.

He was probably just as pissed about that pink Cadillac you got as Jimmy Conway was. smh

In 1970, I shook hands with President Nixon when he and Mrs. Nixon travelled to NOLA.
I got a press kit from one of his interns that contained an 8x10 signed picture, some papers, and a pen with the Presidential Seal on it. I have no idea what happened to the kit.

I saw JFK in the flesh once through a scope. Didn't last long.

I shook the hand of G HW Bush. Pretty cool. I was really into politics when I was in my early teens and I asked my mother to take me to a rally for him at BTR airport

Bush when he came to my town once.
Posted on 12/26/19 at 8:17 pm to tuptiger
Nope. Sen. John Danforth is the closest.
