Franklin Pierce is the only Granite State native son to become President. Tomorrow is Pierce's 198th birthday. We meet Jayme Simoes, head of a committee preparing for the Pierce Bicentennial in 2004, www.franklinpierce.ws, and David Holzel, co-creator of a satirical website devoted to the man he calls the most obscure President ever. www.mindspring.com/~dbholzel/pierce/pierce.html
