Sargent Shriver Gets V.P. Advice in Sauna at Watergate Health Club

Sargent Shriver

I’ll never forget Sarge Shriver asking my dad, Andrew F. Tully, for his advice on accepting George McGovern’s invitation to join his 1972 Presidential ticket- in the sauna at The Watergate Health Club.

I believe my pops said something along the lines of  “It’s a pretty good gig”

I’ll also never forget seeing him going to mass every morning at Our Lady of Victory Church as I arrived at school there…

R.I.P. Mr. Shriver
