A Coast Guard buddy of mine used to be a cook at the San Clemente Coast Guard Station just down the street from where Nixon lived. He told me that Nixon used to walk the beach quite a bit and every now and then he’d stop into the station for a cup of coffee and a chat, mostly about sports. He said he was a nice guy, kind of regular.
