Oliver Sipple

And if you can rememberβ€”

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

I was on afternoons then and I had seen him because I had come in early.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

And he mentioned the fact that the next person that even said he had a son named Oliver, he was going to literally break their damn neck.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

Whoa.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

So his dad was like – this is his brother talking about his dad's reaction?

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

Brother talking to the dad, yeah.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

And then so then the brother says, and he told me quite clearly in two-letter words, just forget you got a brother.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

And I let him alone.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

Can you tell us the story of the letter?

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

Well, I wish I would have brought it.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

I do have it, but I didn't bring it today.

The same day as that press conference, which was three days after the assassination attempt, Gerald Ford actually did write a letter to Oliver Sipple, which was then released publicly.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

It's a nice letter.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

It's White House stationery, White House envelope.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

It's basically Ford telling my uncle that, you know, he's thankful to him for this heroic deed.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

Well, there's this other chapter where your uncle says to the president, I guess writes to the president.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

Yeah, so we found a letter.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

We found a letter in the Gerald Ford Library.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

It's from your uncle to the president.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

Wow.
