Former President William Howard Taft dedicates the Lincoln Memorial on the Washington Mall on this day in 1922. At the time, Taft was serving as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Taft remains the only former president ever to hold a seat on the Supreme Court. He served from 1921 to 1930. He recalled his time on the court as his most rewarding career, later writing in his memoirs, "I don’t remember that I was ever president."

A1C Mike Allen - My mother grew up on one of the Islands. I think it was Mackinac? Then they moved to Ohio, near Akron. My dad was from a tiny farming town in Eastern Kentucky, and I was born there. The hospital closed over 50 years ago, is on the National Register Of Historical Places.

Interesting about Taft! To think more fondly of his Supreme Court position that his Presidential.
