A Peek at the Presidents
George Washington probably didn’t
chop down a cherry tree, and his
dentures weren’t made of wood, but of
cow teeth. More presidential tidbits:
Thomas Jefferson (1801-09). A
prolific inventor, he designed or
improved the spherical sundial,
dumbwaiter and swivel chair, among
other items.
John Quincy Adams (1825-29).
Swam in the Potomac River
each morning.
Ulysses S. Grant (1869-77).
Received a speeding ticket while
driving his one-horse carriage in
Washington, D.C.
James A. Garfield (1881).
Ambidextrous, President Garfield
could write a sentence in Latin with
one hand and in Greek with the other.
Warren G. Harding (1921-23).
During a poker game, he lost a set of
White House china to Gen. Douglas
MacArthur’s first wife, Louise.
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-45).
After President Roosevelt told guests
about a mystery story he’d imagined,
it was made into a novel and movie,
called “The President’s Mystery.” FDR
received a “story by” credit.
Gerald Ford (1974-77). He and his
wife, Betty, had been models. He
even appeared on the cover of
Cosmopolitan magazine.
The 44th President

amazing job with snow removal. Here
are a few reminders to help our staff
as they work to clear the snow:

park so that your car’s bumper
does not overhang the sidewalk.
• Please make sure your vehicle(s)
display your Hampton In
Highland parking sticker and that
all overnight visitors have a
temporary parking pass.
• Whenever there is more than 2"
of snow accumulation, please
move your vehicle to a cleared
parking space.

It is located just north of the
maintenance shop/garage next to the
car wash and playground area. You
may drop plastic, paper, glass and
cardboard into the dumpster.

Black History Month is observed
every February in the United
States. “Freedom is never given; it
is won.” -A. Phillip Randolph

3 Things You Need to Know
The American Heart Association
urges women to get serious about
cardiovascular disease. Here are
three things you need to know:
1) Your risk increases after age 40
due to less estrogen, more
blood-clotting protein and increased
LDL, or bad cholesterol.
2) Fight it by not smoking, eating a
healthy diet and exercising 30 minutes
a day.
3) Women’s heart attack symptoms
can be subtle and may include chest
tightening, pain in the upper body,
nausea, sweating and dizziness.
