I had to think about who that was between Ford and Reagan.

Ha, it was a Yugoslav weather control project started by Tito in 1971 and was based in Macedonia.
But the Macedonians have a way for taking their sweet time

You didn't recognize all of them instantly? For shame.

I have to confess, I did not recognize the first one.

It took me a little while with the first one, but since I recognised Ike I just backtracked. I wouldn't have got Ford if nik hadn't mentioned Jimmy who I knew was after Nixon but before Reagan. Amazing how similar H.W is to W and how different he looked when he was president.

Actually he was a captain in the artillery in WWI which probably gave him the necessary insight to use the bomb on Hiroshima as another form of artillery which can be non discriminating in its effects; the next step down was the British Tallboy... otherwise known as the "cookie' over Berlin. But the coolest one is still old George Washington who started one war at Ohio and ended another at Yorktown and managed to get sworn in wearing his Masons apron. THey hadn't invented the Medal of Honor nor the Nobel Prize as with Teddy R. for whom the ubiquitous bear IS named. BULLY!
