Who's your White House Press Secretary?

National Archives published an article of "White House Press Secretaries" and in it the claim was Cabinet Member George B. Cortelyou (3 cabinet posts would have been 4 today, last Postmaster General under President T. Roosevelt) was the first when he invited the press in to talk about President McKinley's condition, whom he stood next to, after what was then the attempted assassination of the President. He died eight days later, VP Theodore Roosevelt, hiking Mt. Marcy in the Adirondacks, from Tahawas Lodge in NY, was driven down on buckboard relay through the night to North Creek, NY where he boarded a special train for Buffalo, NY after McKinley passed on, to be inaugurated. Other Press Secretaries were listed but not the first woman to hold the job Dee Dee Myers, who left to get married a few years (?) before the article was published. Historians have overlooked G.B. Cortelyou, who besides being Chairman of the Republican Party, and an early CEO of ConEd in NY, taught shorthand and was descended from the French surveyor of Brooklyn, Jacques Cortelyou, for the early Dutch in New Amsterdam. They're important today. McClellan: "I Have Accepted" - Couric & Co.
