Noll's Thought for January 6, 2018

General Dwight David Eisenhower - 563

When I was a small boy growing up in Kansas a friend of mine and I went fishing and as we sat there in the warmth of a summer afternoon on a riverbank we talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up. I told him that I wanted to be a real major-league baseball player a genuine professional like Honus Wagner. My friend said that he'd like to be President of the United States. Neither of us got our wish.
