  A.G. woman tells of being an Eisenhower

  When Kaye Eisenhower Morgan of Arroyo Grande began college in 1952, her uncle Ike (Dwight D. Eisenhower) was running for president of the United States. She tried to hide her last name from her dorm mates, not wanting the notoriety.

  At one event she heard a girl say, “I hear there is an Eisenhower girl on campus and I hear she got drunk at a frat house,” an untrue rumor. Eventually, the truth that Kaye was an Eisenhower came out, and she had to fend off suitors interested only in her name.

  In January 1953, Kaye and her family attended the inauguration of “Uncle Ike.” Although not often in the White House, the family was taken through the mansion by Mamie Eisenhower (Ike’s wife), who showed them the Red Room, Blue Room, Gold Room, Oval Office, etc. It was yet to be redecorated by the Eisenhowers. Kaye was 18 years old.
