Story 272
President Gerald R.Ford - I was walking down the street in Hanover, NH many years ago and ran into the former president as he was leaving a speaking engagement at Dartmouth College. I stuck my hand out and mumbled something like good afternoon, sir, and he shook my hand, looked me in the eye and said "Hello , nice to meet you." He then resumed his walk down the sidewalk. I didnt want to wash my hand for weeks! I kept thinking I have shaken the hand of someone who has shaken the hands of many world leaders - Nixon, Brezhnev, Kissinger, Ike, all the senators, congressman, etc. It was a thrill I will never forget. I am glad he is still hanging in there.
