"(Don Stinson) may be the only man in the world who can say (his) wingmen were Bob Hope and Charlton Heston!"
John Grayson and Jennifer Blume, 550 AM KTRS-St. Louis 


"This is a really cool book.... (the story of) a kid who kind of 'Forrest Gumps' his way into all kinds of interesting situations." 
​​Bradley Jay, WBZ 1030 NewsRadio-Boston

"(Written in) a unique style! I call it 'whimsical irony.'"

​The truly flabbergasting, real-life story of a teenager, an Oval Office, and a ringside seat to Watergate. 
​                 
   At the age of 17, Don Stinson accidentally  landed a job in the White House during Watergate, the largest political scandal in American history. 
    A truly insignificant member of the Nixon White House staff, he frequently loitered outside of the Oval Office to watch it unfold. 
​What he saw throughout the White House ran  the gamut from the deeply profound to the wildly hilarious.
​   He was also a kid who did the same kind of harebrained things most teenagers do.
​   Only steps away from the Oval Office, he fought with a foreign head of state for space in a restroom. ​​ He devised a shortcut that tripped countless alarms and summoned an agitated band of Secret Service agents. He spilled ice ​water on Frank Sinatra.  And that was just the small stuff.
​   A funny, fast-paced memoir, Downstairs at the White House is richly decorated with presidents, first ladies, celebrities ... and events that shook America.

About the Author

 ​Don Stinson is a graduate of American University and a former newspaper executive.  A truly insignificant member of the White House staff during Watergate, he frequently loitered outside of the Oval Office.
​​  
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he worked with newspapers in Russia, Slovakia, and Poland to establish a free and independent press. ​ His accomplishments included being held hostage in a smelting plant, sleeping in an insane asylum guarded by sheep herders, and fighting a goat defending a lavatory door on Russian airliner Aeroflot.  ​​The goat won. ​​
​  
​He (the author, not the goat) lives in Miami, Florida.
