CONWAY — George Cleveland, grandson of President Grover Cleveland, has been in the news lately, since his grandfather was the only other president besides the recently inaugurated President Donald Trump to serve two non-consecutive terms.
Cleveland, of Tamworth, dropped by the SUN-TV studio recently to discuss with Publisher Mark Guerringue his recent media appearances, including an interview with USA Today. He also shared some details about his grandfather and reflected on the historical significance of the White House and his family's connection to it.
