This happened after he left office. He said something funny though to us, he saw Bess peeking out a window and said she was checking up on him. Years later they opened up to the public their home , which Bess left things as they were when President Truman passed away, and I got to take a tour of it. Harry Truman was also a man that didn't mince his words, and said once Nixon was a crook, which we all knew, but he had the courage to call it like he saw it, and made no doubt what he meant. I did get to go to his library , which at that time he was there but didn't get to see him. Our teacher ,who was once a state Rep. knew him and took us down the street for the get together, and it was something I will always remember clearly, and made me think about politics and what he went through while in office, and the incredible decisions he had to make. A once in a lifetime moment.
