Happy Birthday, George!
George Washington was bom on February 22, 1732,
but we celebrate Presidents Day on February 19,
five days after Abraham Lincoln’s birthday on the
12th. George was one of nine presidents who never
attended college and, like every president until Jimmy
Carter, was born at home. Like virtually every president
since, he wore glasses, at least some of the time, and
his hair even if it hadn’t
— was predominantly w
(Monroe and Pierce were the exceptii
they had handsome dark brown hair.) In 1
youth, Washington was considered roman
tic and emotional and loved to dance.

times; I am glad I was horn in
