Beats his grandfather.
But his father donated the MOMA land, and his mother cofounded it.

His latter gubernatorial years we’re increasingly more conservative as, in a last ditch effort to win the Republican nomination (in ‘76), he tried to make some inroads on the right-wing’s longtime antagonism towards him. His resignation from office in December 1973 was widely seen as an opening gambit to run for president. I recall talk about how his age - 68 - in ‘76 was going to be an obstacle, but waiting until his 70s was especially a non-starter. How times have changed.

It’s believed Rocky was LBJ’s real choice to succeed him in 1968.

Ford regretted pulling him off the ticket in 1976. Ford felt it was the wrong move.

In 1968 my politically minded big brother dragged my friend Joey and me to Stapleton International airport to see Nelson and Happy arrive. There was a crowd and Nelson was signing and shaking hands. I reached my hand up and he signed an R on my hand. We were getting jostled and Happy looked at Joey and said "Oh, you poor boy".

When I hook up with older married guys I'm always concerned they might pull a Nelson on me.
