George Washington

Researchers hope to create a new image of George Washington. Starting with his teeth. They already have me convinced. I had no idea, for instance, that the first President was 6'3".

"People know that Washington was great, but many people think he was boring and nothing could be further from the truth," said James C. Rees, executive director of the Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens, Washington's home in northern Virginia. "Of all the founding fathers, he was the most athletic, the most adventurous and clearly a man of action," Rees said.
