Herbert Hoover - Biography, Facts & Presidency - HISTORY

Meeting the president

One of the stories that John loved to tell, was about when he supposedly met the 31st president of the United States: Herbert Hoover. This president was in the White House from 1929 to 1933. John was born in 1930, so he didn’t remember much of it, but according to his stories, his mother had saved a little girl’s life and was awarded with a medal and a dinner with the president, along with her entire family.

The family found something spectacular in the attic. They wondered if it had something to do with the president.
