Though lively and witty in private, Bess Truman could seem dour and reserved in public. A plane-christening fiasco in her first public appearance as First Lady didn’t help. A champagne bottle, which had not been properly scored, remained unscathed through nine whacks by the former shotput champion from Independence. The audience laughed, and Harry was amused after viewing the newsreel footage. Bess was not amused. She reportedly told Harry she was sorry he hadn’t been there so she could swing the bottle at him! youtu.be/pzbjEaX891s
