Thanks, Chris. It was kinda fun to run across this letter.

Love this letter, Devin. Naivety indeed, but a requirement for entrepreneurs, as least at some point in their journey...hopefully early! You and I are only a year apart in age, and humorously enough, I had a similar experience the year prior. I'd written my first report, also on Presidential matters...this one, however, was about my shining respect for President Nixon's efforts to open up China. A couple weeks later, I believe my opinion of Mr. Nixon may have changed. Great stuff, brother. Keep 'em comin'.

Thanks, Scott. Those were crazy times. At the time, I was convinced in my little brain that Ford was right to pardon Nixon. Today, I think that pardon gave us the Trump presidency. In other words, I think it was a mistake-albeit a well considered one.
