Close, but not quite. I saw Richard Nixon when he was campaigning for the Presidency in 1972 (and I wasn't even old enough to vote yet), and I saw Vice President Walter Mondale when I was standing in line to go in the Washington Monument. We were near the front of the line to go in when they said there would be a 20 minute wait (or something like that) because Vice President Mondale was bringing a visiting dignitary to see the Washington Monument. About 5 minutes later he and a small group of people walked past us and went up. We had to wait until they came out before they let us go in.
