I have a post ready to debut on the Sires and Sons anniversary. I think it was a wonderful photo opportunity after John Coolidge became a member of the chapter at Amherst, his father's chapter. And his father was living in the White House serving as President. There are still a few certificates signed by John Coolidge (his father had signed the original certificates). Unfortunately, John Coolidge had no sons, only two daughters. He was a humble and gracious man and in reading about him and hearing stories, I think he had the best qualities of his mother and father.
