President William McKinley was shot (twice) while attending the World's Fair in Buffalo, NY in 1901. Doctors were able to remove one of the bullets but could not find the other one, as it was embedded in muscle, so they closed his wounds assuming that he would be okay. He died eight days later. Ironically, the newly-developed X-ray machine was displayed at the fair, but doctors were reluctant to use it as they did not know what side effects it may have had on him.

Teddy Roosevelt's life was saved by a speech in his pocket. An anarchist rushed him, shot him, but the speech acted as a bullet proof vest. The bullet only pierced him. He gave his speech despite the misfortune.

Johnson City, TN is closer to Canada than it is to Memphis. I know you TN boys probably already know that, but here in SC, I find that interesting.
