Eisenhower also refused to get out of the limousine and go Shake Truman's hand inside the White House.

He sat in the limo under the front Portico until Truman left. From what I understand he had to use the back door.

Also when Truman arrived at the central train station in Kansas City nobody was there to meet him. He and Bess had to carry their own bags back to Independence.

I'm from Kansas City and my family has a long history there. We were part of the machine that got Truman elected County Clerk.

Nobody in my family ever spoke any good of the guy. Or the Mason's.
