Senator Boies Penrose (R- PA) 1860-1921 aka known for his love of food and drink




Senator Boies Penrose (R- PA) 1860-1921 aka known for his love of food and drink -

“I already drink regularly with three Catholic priests, four of five Episcopal rectors and God knows how many Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian elders.

“As drinkers they have their weaknesses. The best drinkers I know are the Quakers. They are sober even when drunk.”
