Richard Nixon was president in the USA during part of Trudeau's tenure. I did not vote for Nixion. I voted for McGovern when Nixion ran for his second term. The U.S. just lowered the voting age to 18.

Eisehhower was the president when I was born in the mid 50s. JFK was elected when I was in the second grade. His was the first political campaign that caught my attention and enthusiasim. I was in 4th grade when he was assassinated. I was in junior high when RFK and MLK were assassinated.

The Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles is where RFK was pronounced dead. The hospital was literally a couple of blocks from where I lived. It was a very, very sad time when we lost all three of these visionaries.
