Our Docents are happy to tell our guests about President Nixon's elections (the images in this video are of campaign memorabilia from his presidential campaigns, winning in 1968 and losing in 1960).

33-year-old Richard Nixon won his first primary election 80 years ago this week, becoming the Republican nominee for California's 12th Congressional District. In the November general election, he won 56% defeating five-term incumbent Jerry Voorhis.

A couple guests asked our docents about this class photo: "Which first grader is President Nixon?" (Answer in the comments.) Docents always love answering guests' questions!

His first grade teacher was Miss Mary M. George. She called him quiet, studious, and solemn and felt he was born with knowledge. Richard Nixon's mother had taught him to read at the age of six, and he was soon reading at the second-grade level. Miss George recommended Richard Nixon skip to the third grade.
