“The Nixon Sandwich And The Tonight Show Stories”. Stories about the day Richard Nixon spoke to thousands at Sullivan’s Buffalo Celebration during his Presidential campaign in 1960 will be presented by Steve Jenne on Thursday, Sept 15 at 7 p.m. at the Moultrie County History Center at 1303 Hamilton St., Sullivan. Jenne, of Springfield, formerly of Sullivan, was a Boy Scout acting as security during one of the biggest events in Sullivan’s history. He picked up Nixon’s half-eaten sandwich, took it home and put it in the freezer. Many years later, Jenne and the sandwich appeared on the “The Tonight Show” and “I Got a Secret” in New York, among other venues. “The Sandwich that Changed My Life”, a book by Scot England,well-known biographer to the stars and former Moultrie resident, will be available. The public is invited to attend and share memories about that big day.
