...slight, white-maned old man with large, dark eyes was working steadily last week amid masses of congratulatory mail, which had come to him from all over the world on his 78th birthday.

Some of her colleagues foresaw trouble for the pretty young newcomer. One was Helene Colesie, another young teacher who became Pat Nixon's oldest and closest friend (and who later married one of Dick Nixon's closest friends, Los Angeles Magazine Distributor Jack Drown).
