My first convention

All the recent voting in New York for  delegates   brought to my mind my first time to vote for president and related to it.

I was 22, a    recent graduate  from LSU and  a job with the Guardian Journal.

I was parked in front of the house in which I roomed.  The Republican convention  was going on late and I was tuned on the  the radio. My landlady sent her  son to check on me        and      was                   puzzled why I was in the car so late.

One of the contenders was Ike (war hero) and I think he was opposed by Senator Taft. Ike won, of course.
