Grits Gresham

Post by cshold »

"Two things were going to happen every day when I was growing up. The sun was going to rise, and I was going to shoot something," Claude Hamilton "Grits" Gresham, Jr.

It was Gresham who, in an interview with U.S. President Ronald Reagan, reported that Reagan, as a fledgling radio announcer, had once used a Colt pistol to save a nurse in Des Moines, Iowa from a mugging on a street. After Gresham's story broke, the nurse came forward and confirmed the tale, although she explained that she had no knowledge that the young man who had saved her so many years before had turned out to have become the popular actor and President of the United States.
