Tricky Dick[]

Jim's Red Book has a pic of Henson and Vice President Richard Nixon at a local Emmy show in 1959. I still don't know when we do and don't make pages for people just when they'd had their photo taken with a Muppet, so I'm parking the link here for now. β€”Scott (message me) 19:30, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

Can we put it on President of the United States, even though he wasn't President yet? -- Ken (talk) 20:44, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
Sure, I don't see why not. β€”Scott (message me) 21:42, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

Pat Nixon[]

The Milwaukee Sentinel - Nov 23, 1994

A picture of Big Bird with Pat Nixon at the White House is at the National Archives. There's a date, but no information about the actual event. Do we have a way of figuring that out? β€”Scott (talk) 17:43, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Can you e-mail them, or maybe e-mail somebody at his presidential library? -- Ken (talk) 02:17, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
No need, actually. Google News Archives to the rescue.
Google
New York Times' account is perhaps the most complete. -- Zanimum 00:05, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Interesting. The Google link quotes Caroll in the Milwaukee Sentinel from an interview in Interview magazine where he says he was invited to the White House by Pat Nixon. The NY Times says the event happened at the Sesame set. It looks like both happened, but no specifics as to why he was there during the Nixon administration. β€”Scott (talk) 00:20, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
True, now that you mention it, those are separate. I guess someone contacting the Nixon Library is still justified. -- Zanimum 00:38, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
