He Didn’t Shake Hands, But …

 (The Spokesman-Review)
(The Spokesman-Review)

A coupla days ago, I asked if you'd ever shaken hands with a president. Don Sausser, HBO's Eye On Sherman Avenue, responded in a private e-mail that he hadn't. But he got dang close. Take if away, Don: "I haven't shaken any hands but here is a picture I took of President Truman at Fort Lewis while I was in the Army (1958). I managed my way out of the infantry and into a battle group photographer back in the days of 4x5" speed graphic view cameras."

Question: Anyone else besides me appreciate "Give-'Em-Hell" Harry S Truman?
