Can anyone verify this story about the President's driver?
Upvote:2
- Elenor Roosevelt had a car accident, but she was driving. She fell asleep at the wheel.
- Maybe unrelated: Franklin Roosevelt had a manservant who he kept even though there were questions about his reliability. Mrs Roosevelt thought he drank too much. Reportedly, FDR, who was paralyzed, had a fear of burning in a fire, not being able to escape. This manservant was kept on staff because it made FDR feel safer having him around even if he wasn't entirely reliable for his daily chores. I read that in Doris Kearns Goodwin's "No Ordinary Time", about the Roosevelt White House during WWII.
- President Ford's car was in an accident. As I remember, his driver believed the roads had been closed and thus did not stop at a red light. I don't believe he was fired.
