Senator and Vice President.
Monday, he became a tour guide.
“This is where it all started,” he said as he opened the door to Nick’s Kitchen for his son Benjamin’s family.
Quayle recalled standing on a chair at Nick’s in 1976 to announce his first run for Congress.
“I was 29 years old. I think half the room laughed.”
He won that race, upsetting long time incumbent Democrat J. Edward Roush.
Four years later, he knocked off legendary Indiana Senator Birch Bayh.
In 1988, few pundits thought he would be named as George H. W. Bush’s running mate.
All those races were launched with a trip to Nick’s.
Quayle quickly shot down any thought his return meant another race.
“No, I think that time has passed me up.” WANEtv
