Here, I was talking with a family friend about former US presidents and trips to Warm Springs, GA (USA) and Hanoi, Vietnam.
LBJ also had a depressive streak, and would sink into long periods of self-loathing and doubt. Apparently his last years in Texas were very melancholic. FDR, on the other hand, was with his lovely mistress in Warm Springs when his days ended. I enjoyed Warm Springs, btw. interestingly enough, while on a trip to Hanoi with my wife in 2006, I saw Ho Chi Minh's home retreat. Although Asian decor, it reminded me in some ways of FDR's Warm Spring house and grounds. I went through Headland public schools and Samford, yet never even knew Ho Chi Minh was a name, much less a human being. Had no idea. Funny how history gets suppressed. - 2020 e-mail
