we've never had a non WASP+male president Jackson was an orphan Lincoln was a backwoods hick Truman didn't go to college This doens't mean that they weren't WASP, but not all of our presidents were both with silver spoons in their mouths.

Roosevelt(both of them) and Reagan were by definition not WASPs. They were Dutch which is neither Anglo nor Saxon and therefore they were just WPs(White Protestants).

I'm back It was quite fun. We stayed at a Holiday Inn that was about a...40 minute drive from the capitol building. We went around the city in groups and went site seeing and took pictures and stuff. We went to the Lincoln and Jefferson memorial, the Capitol building...and a lot of museums. When we got to a place, we went wandering around in groups and was told to meet at a place at a specific time because the teachers were afraid we'd get mugged, kidnapped, killed, injured, lost, etc and any of the combination of the above. We got back to the hotels everynight at...10 ish and people in my room, 3 friends, one who you know as GranularFire. We watched family guy Weather was quite nice, a bit nippy on the first two days and on the third day...it poured.

He drew a series of airplanes for a contest that the museum was hosting (in the '50s, I think). I don't know the name of it, but it showed four airplanes (in separate pictures) all framed together.

We were about to go to DC last year but then our teacher got scared of the terrorist attack; so we went to one of the provinces in Canada, which was cool. =) While you were there, did you visit the Smithsonian Museum? My grandfather has artwork that is on permanent display there. Wow, thats actually pretty cool. Did he win money for the pics? ;D
