Right now, I'm wondering what Biloxi's question is, since I'm a history major.

Oh LKunkel I'll ask you. I just ran across this tonight and had never heard it before. Was George Washington the 1st or the 8th president? And if he was the 8th was John Hanson the first? I came across a link that says John Hanson was really the first president. I'll be glad to get the link and post it. Thanks Lkunkel

George Washington was definitely not the first President of the United States. He was the first President of the United States under the Constitution we follow today. And the first seven Presidents are forgotten in history. --------------------------- i found this on google.

Right now I would like to advise Reader to go to the Southwest Airlines website and sign up for the weekly e-mail specials. In addition to systemwide specials from time to time, Southwest features a slew of specials every week. You have to book them usually within a three day window from first notification, but they are good until about six months in the future. So don't worry about getting a good airfare to San Antonio or Austin at some point within the next year or so. You are almost guaranteed to get one. Do NOT book a $159 one way fare. There will be much lower fares if you wait. Jujutravelingdawg

Right now I'll be darned Thanks Tabby and Lkunkel. How could I not know this? I loved history in school. I know this wasn't taught to me. I even asked my 13 year thinking well maybe they are teaching the correct version now. But his answer was also Washington. Hmmm there is room in my 45 year old brain to always learn something new. Right now here's the link that triggered my question. http://www.marshallhall.org/hanson.html Thanks again both of you.

Biloxibelle, I checked Snopes, and here is the link: http://www.snopes.com/history/american/hanson.htm Lead-in to the further discourse reads: "A prime example of why history is best learned from history books, not comic books (or the modern equivalent, web sites of dubious validity). John Hanson was not the "first president of the United States." John Hanson has not been purged from history books by a wave of revisionist historians who refuse to acknowledge his true importance to American history. The plain truth is that John Hanson was never considered "the first president of the United States," even in his own time. and John Hanson couldn't possibly have been the "first president of the United States," because neither the office of President of the United States nor the nation known as the United States of America was created until after he was dead. "

It's quiet on the Gravel pit. The cherping of Robins has given way to the cheeping of baby ducks. Oh what a weekend to come.

juju, i had never heard of john hanson til biloxi asked about him. certainly, i never heard of him in school...so, if the u.s. didn't technically have a president until after we had a constitution, he wouldn't count. but if he was ever a president of the united states, he should at least be mentioned in history. IMO he was a president of the united states but not at the time it counted for anything, i guess! right now, 6 kids have been suspended from our high school and will not be graduating with their class next week. they had been breaking into the records office at 3:00 a.m. for the last year and changing kids' transcripts and report card grades on the computers. 29 kids sent off 'forged' transcripts with their college applications! what a mess. the district attorney is going to decide exactly what charges will be filed and the kids will either be sentenced or bound over for trial. one arrested student's mother said, "it was just a little forgettable thing" and her son "should be able to go on with his life." sheesh... the D.A. said once her son suffers the consequences of his crime and gets his act together, he can go on with his life; it just isn't going to happen overnight.

Right now, I haven't decided if I'm going to read Glorious Appearing. I've been disappointed in the previous two books; they read as tho they had been tossed together and edited to death. For now, I settled on starting with The Woman with the Alabaster Jar.
