Later, Craig dropped the President a note: "I'll support you again in 1968, if you'll promise to support me in 1988." Sure enough, Craig was invited to the inauguration. When he stepped off the plane back in Los Angeles, half the student body from his school was there to meet him with signs reading "HUNDLEY FOR PRESIDENT-1988." Craig liked that. As he is well...
