In 1960 Grenier spearheaded the Nixon effort in Birmingham, takes pleasure in the fact that the Republican Presidential candidate got 60% of the vote. Since taking over the state chairmanship, Grenier has opened a full-time headquarters, complete with staff, Addressograph machines, multilith offset printing presses, and a $150,000 budget.
