Sweet Greeting for Nixon
Dateline: Oshkosh, ca. 1958. This weekend marks the thirtieth anniversary of Richard Nixon's resignation from the presidency, after the Watergate scandal. Long before that vice president Nixon visited Wisconsin and was greeted at the airport by our state's governor and "Honey Queen." See more pictures of the ill-fated president at Wisconsin Historical Images, including one of the vice president driving a tractor in 1955.
