Politics is No Stranger at Coolidge Homestead
Attending the annual reenactment of the moment in history when Calvin Coolidge, then Vice President of the United States, took the oath of office as President , the four people pictured are no strangers to the world of politics. But today, after they viewed the historic swearing in of Coolidge as a result of Warren Harding's death, they were just regular people as they enjoyed Coolidge's favorite drink, a Moxie, at the country store in Plymouth. Pictured with their Moxies are, from left to right, Alison Johansson, Tesha Buss, Richard McCormack, and Alison Clarkson. All are seeking election to various state offices but, at this moment, are more concerned with honoring the memory of President Coolidge. They also seem to be doing a good job promoting Moxie as well.
