Grandpa Breece was often heard chanting happily : "Tippecanoe & Tyler Too!"
I always wondered what this meant.
So here is today's history lesson:
It was an 1840 Presidential campaign slogan. William Henry Harrison was the hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe and John Tyler was his Vice President. This campaign was the very first campaign with slogans and songs.
So in honor of you today Grandpa Breece, I will sing this phrase to Tyler! I am sure he will give me a funny look but I am his Mom-he already thinks I am weird.
Rest in peace Grandpa Breece. Enjoy your loving reunion with your one (and only) Betty Boop.
