Since we're all celebrating #WorldBeardDay, we thought it was a good time to ask our friends for a little help settling a longstanding debate. Here is a fine cabinet card image of John Aspinwall Roosevelt (1840-1909), paternal uncle of FDR. Does this count as a beard?

Many presidents have enjoyed the sport of fishing. This pastime provides an opportunity to relax or to enjoy the sportsman’s thrill of the hunt. From Washington to the present day, fishing has been one of the president’s and the nation’s favorite pastimes.

Honored to participate in the Reading Festival at the FDR Presidential Library and Museum. I shared reflections from my book, The Dalai Lama and American Presidents, including Roosevelt’s historic connection with Tibet and the 1942 U.S. mission to Lhasa.
