Kennedy and all of the presidents before Eisenhower.

As for the living former presidents, I know that Bush 41 will be buried behind his library.  Not sure about the others.

Kennedy isn't. Only two others (well, besides the pre-Hoover presidents) are not burried, and one living chooses not to be.

Wait, the current Queen or just the Queen in general?

If the former, FDR or Truman (she met FDR before she became queen, Truman after.)

As President, it was Johnson, but the first man to become President who wore contact lenses was Reagan, who started shortly after they went on the market.

Unlikely: "In 1887, the German ophthalmologist Adolf Gaston Eugen Fick constructed and fitted the first successful contact lens."

I think the reference was probably about a specific type of contact lens - most likely corneal lens which became commercially available in 1949 and were a major breakthrough in wearer comfort.
