A longtime friend and contributor two the library hugh hewitt. My wife and i have been friends of the library for a wild. I came of age during the nixon years and have vivid memories of the 1968 Republican National convention watched on a black and white tv late into the night breathlessly hoping for his nomination. We have come to learn more about Richard Nixon and that marquis left on our country and world and as i look at the state of our nation in the world today i reach into the archives of the 72 campaign, nixon now more than ever. We have had the opportunity two meet wonderful people through the library tran and betsy hewitt among them. Hugh is a frequent figure at library interviewing Authors Panel discussions, participating in debates and as we saw today conducting his nationally syndicated radio show. He served in the Nixon Administration as a speechwriter and was critical in the construction of this facility and for that a debt of gratitude by all who have benefited from it.
