I Remain

See also Coolidge's official White House biography (http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/cc30.html) and a guide to research collections of his papers (http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=C000738).

Coolidge writes that he once attended a town celebration in Cape Cod where he met many members of the Doan Family. Like most of the other families, "I note you have gone away to help other people" and he wishes him success. Coolidge had a long political career, serving in the state senate, then as lieutenant-governor of Massachusetts (1916-18), later as Governor (1919-20), then as Harding's Vice President (1921-23), and as 30th President of the United States after Harding's death (1923-29).
