Remembering Neilia Hunter Biden

OPINION:

Growing up in the Delaware Valley, I remember the tragic end of the first wife of a future president of the United States.

This past Memorial Day, we saluted Neilia Hunter Biden.

Neilia was an American teacher and the first wife of President Biden, the 46th president of the United States. She died in a car crash in 1972 with her 1-year-old daughter, Naomi. Her two sons, Beau and Hunter, were critically injured but survived.

First lady Jill Biden and Neilia are similar in persona. They both enjoyed a life as schoolteachers. Their hairstyles are somewhat similar in length. And both are/were strikingly attractive women.

There is one place in America that can sum up this fact in history. It is in Canton, Ohio, a must-go place for every red-blooded American.
