beauty of the spot. If you happen to sit next to this guy
you can look over his shoulder and read the newspaper along with him.. It is date Aug 9, 1974 and you can read how RM Nixon resigned from office.
Four months earlier I helped organize the last public demonstration of RMN when he went to Spokane to open the 1974 World's Fair. The police let us set up across the street and a couple hundred of us yelled our throats out when he got out of the car. He turned and waved at us like we were his strongest supporters and I had to admire his practiced concentration. He never appeared in public as President after that.
I had turned the college I was attending into a large hotel for the World's Fair and as the news broke we wheeled out Televisions into the lobby and watched with stunned guests as he climbed aboard a helicopter and flew off.
