I first met Dick Nixon in January of 1948, when we were among the ten outstanding young men of the year, chosen by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Here's Nixon and here am I. Here's Barbara Walker, who was Miss America of 1947.
I ran into Dick Nixon and Ronald Reagan, and here am I, at the Bohemian Grove in the summer of 1957, when Ronald Reagan was the Governor of California and Nixon was trying to decide whether he would run for President the following year.
On one of their trips to Washington in June, 1960, I brought my daughter Lynne and son Peter around to meet Vice-President Nixon.
