        It brings to mind this one of @BillClinton shaking hands with JFK. Slightly better resolution in this case, and less gloomy.pic.twitter.com/lhCvYIHf7n

        Even that young, you would remember that. Teddy was a real liberal for his time. That was one great family--the Roosevelts.

        Awesome photo. What other pictures have a president/past president and future president in them? I know we have the one where Bill Clinton is shaking JFK's hand when Bill was in high school. Any others?

        A researched noticed it was the Roosevelt mansion and was able to ask TR's wife who was still alive. She was his childhood friend and remembered him and his brother watching from the window

        Good question, I’d have to look it up. The house where he was born is a museum. Think this was his grandfathers place
