Richard Nixon and family at Rehoboth Beach

Col. Riley McGarraugh, a former commander at Fort Miles in Lewes, made this photograph in Rehoboth Beach.  Former President Richard M. Nixon is shown with his family - wife, Pat, and daughters Tricia and Julie - and an unidentified friend.

EDITOR’S NOTE » The original photo caption put the year it was taken as 1963. Lewes reader Richard Claypoole brought it to our attention that daughter Tricia was born in 1946 and daughter Julie in 1948. “If the 1963 date was correct, Tricia would have been 17 and Julie 15, which means they were exceedingly small for their ages...or more likely, the photo was taken no later than the mid-1950s.”
