October 6Oct 6 Better double check this question, Wowman.Reagan was the first president to attend the Summer Olympic games in 1984, but FDR as governor of New York opened the Lake Placid games in 1932, then was elected president nine months later. So technically, he was the first president, (although you did mention sitting, so never mind!!!)Oh yeah, Taft (1909-1913) wore a gray suit with a waistcoat! Come to think of it, he ALWAYS wore a gray coat with a waistcoat!!! 🤣 Remember, history and civics teacher here!
