(From the Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia During winters the family made long visits to relatives in the milder climate of San Antonio, Texas. There, in 1915, at Fort Sam Houston, Mamie met Dwight D. Eisenhower, a young second lieutenant on his first tour of duty. On St. Valentine's Day in 1916 he gave her a miniature of his West Point class ring to seal a formal engagement; they were married at the Doud home in Denver on July 1. For years, Mamie Eisenhower's life followed the pattern of other Army wives: a succession of posts in the United States, in the Panama Canal Zone; duty in France, in the Philippines. She once estimated that in 37 years she had unpacked her household at least 27 times. Each move meant another step in the career ladder for her husband, with increasing responsibilities for her. Their first son, Doud Dwight Eisenhower or "Icky," who was born on January 7, 1917, died of scarlet fever in 1921. A second child,John Sheldon Doud Eisenhower, was born in 1922 in Denver. Like his father he had a career in the army; later he became an author and served as a U.S. ambassador to Belgium. During the Second World War, while promotion and fame came to "Ike," his wife lived in Washington, D.C. After he became president of Columbia University in 1948, the Eisenhowers purchased a farm at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It was the first home they had ever owned. His duties as commander of North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces—and hers as his hostess at a villa near Paris—delayed work on their dream home, finally completed in 1955.[1] They celebrated with a housewarming picnic for the staff from their last temporary quarters: the White House. Diplomacy—and air travel—in the postwar world brought changes in their official hospitality. The Eisenhowers entertained an unprecedented number of heads of state and leaders of foreign governments. As First Lady, her outgoing manner, her feminine love of pretty clothes, some of them designed by Scaasi, [2] jewelry, and her obvious pride in husband and home made her a very popular First Lady. The gown she wore to her husband's inauguration is one of the most popular in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History's collection of inaugural gowns.[3] Mamie was known as a penny pincher who clipped coupons for the White House staff. Her recipe for "Mamie's million dollar fudge" was reproduced by housewives all over the country after it was printed in many publications. Because of her connection with the city of Denver and the area surrounding, there is a park in southeast Denver that bears Mamie's name, as well as a public library in Broomfield, a suburb of Denver. As described in multiple biographies, including Upstairs at the White House by J. B. West, Mamie was unhappy with the idea of John F. Kennedy coming into office following her husband's term. Despite new First Lady Jackie Kennedy having given birth to her son John Jr. via caesarean section two weeks prior, Mamie refused to inform Jackie that there was a wheelchair available for her to use while showing Mrs. Kennedy the various sections of the White House. Seeing Mamie's displeasure during the tour, Jackie kept her composure while in Mrs. Eisenhower's presence, finally collapsing in private once the new First Lady returned home. When Mamie Eisenhower was later questioned as to why she would do such a thing, the former First Lady simply stated, "Because she never asked." Please note: Shipping and handling covers more than just the actual shipping costs. It covers a lot of other things like shipping material (plastic shipping wrap, card board, sheet protectors, labels, etc.). My time spent packaging, delivering items to the Post Office, etc. I am also differently-able person (handicapped) and it is hard for me to get to the post office, for this reason,Please note: My poor health has finally got the best of me and I can no longer ship packages without the help of someone else. I will now only ship packages on Friday. Any payment received after Friday morning means that item(s) will not be shipped until the following Friday. There will be times that my health will be better and I might be able to get packages shipped sooner than Friday. If for some reason, you do not like the new changes in my shipping methods, please do not bid. Thank you for understanding.Priority mail shipping within the USA will be $6.50 USD. Expect your signed business card to arrive safely within a week after payment. Thank youSome bidders choose to use feedback in a manner in which I believe goes against the fundamental principle for its existence. Many people never even post feedback, so I only respond to feedback which is posted for me. I will immediately post feedback for you after your positive feedback is received. If you have a problem with an item please let me know immediately. I want my customers to be happy with their order.I will leave feedback in kind for any received. My Guarantee to you: I do not issue "COA's" as they are absolutely meaningless. The UACC does not use certificates of authenticity, nor does it endorse the use of such certificates. They are not worth the paper they're printed on. Anyone with a printer can make a COA, and if they're going to forge an autograph, they won't hesitate to make a COA. I offer a full money back guarantee, which is 100% better than a COA. I've been on eBay for over 8 years, so I'm someone you can trust and will be on eBay in the future!Most items will be shipped out within a few business days after payment is cleared. I am handicapped so sometimes I need a few extra days. I do ship worldwide, however, many countries imposes their own customs, duties, tariffs, taxes, etc., on items being shipped from a foreign country and it is the sole responsibility of the buyer to pay these taxes & fees.Shipping insurance is optional, but I highly recommend. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages that are uninsured.I do combine shipping for a discounted shipping price for The United States and International shipping. This price is determined by combining the weights of all items purchased and then reconfiguring the shipping price based on the actual weight of the combined items. The more you purchased the more the discount in most cases. I start with the largest item and whatever will also fit in the package, I will add. Usually it will be one or two dollars per item additional.I don't believe in making a profit off of shipping, but I do past on whatever additional cost for packing materials needed for your items.Again, usually this cost is between one and two dollars above USPS shipping cost. 99% of the time it is one dollar or less for packing materials. Any extra shipping fees paid, will be refunded to you if not used.If you have any questions on my combined shipping policy feel free to email me.
