I may have been there too when you saw Nixon. After Truman died there was a ceremony for VIPs at the Truman library. My mom took us kids down and we were in the grass area lining the drive to the library along with a lot of other people. We saw Nixon go by in his limo, then Johnson (who died less than a month later). I was 11, but remember it well.
RIP Jimmy Carter.
