  It is Dr. Seuss’s birthday!!! Born Theodore Geisel in 1904. Geisel went to work with his father, a zookeeper, the future Dr. Seuss ran around in cages with baby tigers, etc.. Seuss was his mother’s maiden name. Dr. Seuss felt young reader’s needed books that brought fun not the dull “see spot run”. A publisher challenged him to write a book a 1st grader could not put down. The Cat in the Hat answered the challenge. “Every word has to count” Dr. Seuss said.

George Washington, born in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1732, was elected President as the unanimous choice of the 69 electors in 1788, serving two terms in office. His inauguration speech was 133 words long, lasting 90 seconds.  Instead of  a powdered wig like other fashionable people, he put powder on his own hair. “Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience.”
