I also remember celebrating on two different days in February to honor George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We were also taught in school the value of why we honored those specific two Presidents and the impact they’re Presidency made on our country. In the 90’s it was changed to Presidents Day thereby blending the two honored Presidents with all presidents….losing the value of their standout contribution. Our calendar went through quiet a few changes during that era….including the dates of Daylight Savings Time. You won’t read about this….but many of us lived it.
