I read his book "Yes I Can" years ago when I was a teenager. He had an amazing amount of stories to tell. I sort of stopped admiring him when he hugged Richard Nixon.
Life is full of little disappointments
I once shook Nixon's hand, when he was VP. My Pop took me to hear him give the commencement speech some private school near Los Angeles. I was maybe 10 or so. I haven't washed it since! Wish I had a picture of the event, it'd make a great Christmas card.
