As a child I used to watch Big Brother Bob Emery who hosted one of the first television programs especially produced for children. I remember that you could write in and become a member of his Small Fry Club - and you might even get to join him as part of the in-studio audience.
As a daily feature, Bob Emery would invite all of us watching at home to get a glass of milk and join him in toasting a photo of President Dwight D. Eisenhower while he played a recording of Hail to the Chief.
I recall that my dad, a died-in-the-wool Democrat, wasn't all that keen on my sister and I toasting Ike - and by the time the photo changed to JFK, we were teenagers and too old for Big Brother.
Presidential memories from my youth...
