My bet is on Dick Nixon winning the hand. He was a real card sharp in the Navy during WWII and amassed $3,000. He used the winnings to bankroll his first campaign for office. Title: Re: DEAL ME IN... Post by: K5WLF on June 12, 2010, 10:44:06 PM Nixon graduated HS in Whittier, CA. At the time it was traditional for the Senior Class to steal an outhouse from a local farm and put it on the end-of-school-year bonfire. As Senior Class pres, Dick set a record that probably still stands. He ramrodded the acquisition of a four-holer for the bonfire.
