George Aar Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Most of yas probably already know this, but I've always been intriqued by it. On July 4th, 1826 our second president John Adams, and our third president Thomas Jefferson, both died, fifty years to the day from the time they helped found our country. While I'm not a believer in synchronicity or other such claptrap, sometimes coincidences can be kinda remarkable, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Strange Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 yeah... I've always thought that was a little too 'coincidental' myself... I wonder if there's any others that are similar 'twists of fate'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudo Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Also.. I understand that neither knew the other was dying. They were once political opponents but had become close in later years. I think that it was Adams that said as he lay dying that at least Jefferson was still alive. Something like that. sudo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
