“Random Coolidge pics” returns, with my apologies for not posting anything more serious. I’ve been sidetracked by the manifold things a move to a new place entails. Be back soon!
President Coolidge addressing a gathering of radio industry representatives in Oct. 1924 at the White House, as “Wonder Boy” Herbert Hoover looks on admiringly (?)
Here is President Coolidge with a jaunty spring in his step, accompanied by WH Secretary C. Bascom Slemp
With the 2012 election fast approaching, here’s a pic of President Coolidge preparing his mail ballot for 1924. Apparently, he sometimes did his paperwork out on the lawn.

Thanks for the random Cal pictures!
Thank you for these rare photographs. I had to laugh at the photo of the radio representatives address, at the two gentlemen peeking into the White House side window – that would have been me, I’m afraid to say!
Thanks for the comment! I didn’t even notice that guy, I was so focused on Coolidge and Hoover. But yes, I’ll admit I probably would have, too. I should add (and maybe properly attribute) that all photos are from the excellent digital photography files of the Library of Congress.
