Dwight D. Eisenhower and Elmer L. Andersen"Dwight Eisenhower spoke to the fifty thousand boys on the last night of the [Scouting] Jamboree. He was president of Columbia University and soon to become the Republican candidate for president of the United States. We thought of him not as a politician but as the great hero of the European victory in World War II. After he spoke, there were fireworks. It was a tremendously inspiring evening, and my first exposure to Eisenhower, whom I would come to know better in a few years."
