This could be complicated. :-) As a young bride, I worked to help elect a Republican ??? to the Senate. We lived in Oklahoma then. He arranged a visit with President Nixon and Juan
Carlos of Spain. There were about 20 people from Oklahoma.I don't remember 10 minutes of it because Juan Carlos was very handsome ( I stared..his uniform was fantastic..) and I was also weirded out by Nixon. The ex and I were struck by how much mumbling that Nixon did when he looked at you. Mrs. Nixon was very, very quiet and pale. (The "house" was beautiful.)
The best part of the entire trip was the French pastries at the Watergate.
p.s. I just looked up a photo of King Carlos and he's aged and I haven't. :-)
