The man who ran for President
The other day at a
family gathering I found out something about my grandfather that
I never knew before: My grandfather ran for President against Richard
Nixon. My parents said that they had always known this, but they
had never told me. WHAT’S HIS
NAME?
He told us about how he traveled the country
giving speeches. He said that it cost a lot of money to run for
President, but it was one of the best experiences of his life.
He went to almost every state in the United States. At first I
didn’t believe
him, but then he showed me pictures of him on stage during a speech.
He then told me that he met my grandmother while he was touring
the country during election year. He said he met her in Washington,
D.C. My grandfather said for a while he stayed in touch with Richard
Nixon and they talked about things happening in government and
how to make the United States better.
