August 8, 1974, I was not quite 12 and we had just returned from a family road trip. I did not understand what we were watching but Nixon resigned his office of POTUS and all I remember thinking is that I was glad because he always looked angry to me.

Later, I was thrilled that Gerald Ford put a swimming pool in the Whitehouse. His tomb is nearby and I still haven't visited it.
