On the recordMay 27, 1993
This young man asked me where I was standing when I met President Kennedy in the Rose Garden when I was a delegate to the American Legion Boys Nation. He was standing on those steps there, and I was standing here, because they had us lined up in alphabetical order, and I was from Arkansas, and we were at the front of the alphabet. I was also the biggest kid on this side, so when he came over and started shaking hands, I sort--I'm embarrassed to say this, but I kind of elbowed the others out of the way to make sure--[laughter]--to make sure if he only shook three hands, at least I get to shake his hand. He was good, he shook hands with everybody on the front row. The Presidency Ms. Zahn. So if some wide-eyed kid came up to you from that same position, what would you tell him about being President today and maybe what some of your misconceptions were about the job?
