Did You Know? - by Mr. Creswell
Did you know FDR smoked three packs of cigarettes a day? This ashtray at The Little White House in Warm Springs, GA. would hold three packs, a book of matches on top, and had to be emptied frequently. His secretary kept her bedroom door closed because of the smoke, and you can actually see how darker the wood paneling is in the living room compared to her bedroom.
