*Impressed by Nixon's neatness and efficiency, she accepted his secretarial job offer in 1951. Woods developed a very close relationship with the Nixon family, especially with First Lady Pat Nixon. She accompanied Vice President Nixon on his 1958 goodwill tour of South America but was injured by flying glass in the attack on Nixon's motorcade. She continued working for the Nixons after their retirement to San Clemente, California. Provenance: The Jim Hier Presidential Collection
