The haunting of the White House -- roses and presidents and queens -- oh, my
By Aussiegirl
Are you all Miersed out? Is the daily grind of depressing news just becoming a bit much? Well, hurry on over to BonnieBlueFlag and get ready for Halloween. Our good friend Bonnie has just posted three new and exciting ghost stories, all to do with the White House. And you know when you read anything over there that she has researched this down to its tippy-toes -- these are not just unfounded rumors but documented hauntings.
BonnieBlueFlag: "Queen Wilhelmina
It was 1945 and Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was in Washington, D.C. on an official state visit. She was happy to be with friends, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, the President and First Lady of the U.S. The war had brought about quick and lasting friendships for many of the heads of state, because, they had been through so much together, in their joint effort to stop the spread of the Nazis throughout Europe."

OF COURSE the White House is haunted!
Currently by George W. Bush.
Maybe we need an ghost buster!
"The Bickersons"?
Bonnie, either you are much older than any of us would have thought, or you are quite the knowledgeable scholar of antique broadcasting.

Somewhere among my souvenirs is a recording of an interview I did with Don Ameche, about 1984, at the time of the release of "Cocoon."
Alas, I never got to meet Frances Langford -- she was before even my time.
As one of my old newspaper customers used to say, "Thanks for the memories."
