Meeting the President

One of John's favorite stories was about how he allegedly met the 31st President of the United States: Herbert Hoover. Hoover served from 1929 to 1933. John was born in 1930, so he had no memory of the event, but according to his account, his mother saved a little girl's life and was rewarded with a medal and a dinner invitation with the president, which included her entire family.
