Ralph Fuccillo, photojournalist and Young Republican, snapped this iconic photograph of President Nixon on the campaign trail at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, NY. The photo's dated April 1971, so it's probably from late '70, early '71. Unless our boy was too cheap to develop the film in '68, when Nixon was there to open his NY campaign. So this shot is probably from his reelection bid.
Flash forward to November 12, 2010 at the The Artistery in Portland, Oregon, where his son Jeff's band, Helll are performing. Ralph encounters his hero once again. Now someone needs to paint a HUGE propaganda-like portrait of Big Pops!
