If You're Putting A Team Together, You Could Do A Lot Worse Than John Jay

Good ole John Jay. It’s been 24 hours since President’s Day and I wanted to give some shine to a Founding Father who was important to a winning cause, but doesn’t get all the shine and that is John Jay. The Federalist Papers, ever heard of them? 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. You know how many of the essays John Jay wrote…five. So he’s there. He’s contributing, but he’s not the star. Same thing with Peace Treaty after the American Revolution. Made himself Ben Franklin’s right-hand man. John Jay was the ultimate glue guy. He didn’t get the glory or some big pay day, but he got a one-term deal to be the Governor of New York and was there for the beginning rebuild of the State after the War. Nothing to sneeze at.
