I have my own special memory of visiting the Library By Tina Maraj Shah

On April 22, 1994 I heard of the passing of President Nixon. I was moved by his death. He was the president in office when I was born in 1970. When I found out that ther was going to be a public viewing at the library, just a few miles from my home my Father and I decided to attend. It was raining and very cold for an April evening. We began standing in line to pay our respects at around 11:00 P.M. It was a very patriotic evening for me. We stood all night long with over ten thousand other mourners in a line that was a few miles long.

It was an incredible site to finally walk through the lobby doors where Presidents Nixon's Casket was lying in state. I felt like a part of history. There were flower arrangements from dignitaries and world leaders. And lying among them was our 37th President on the United States. I later found that I was one of 22 thousand citizens that came to pay my respects. It was an experienc that I shared with my Father I will never forget.
