I was a senior in high school and Press Chairman for the Young Republicans of Harris County (Houston, Texas) in 1964 when he ran...
And I got to shake The Great Man’s hand at old Colt .45 Stadium when he spoke there. I didn’t wash my hand nor did my feet touch the ground for several weeks afterwards!
BTW my Dad then worked for Brown & Root, a big LBJ supporter, but Dad just told me to do as I believed...
Gadzooks! It would have been a much better world... had we elected him President in 1964!
BTW #2 Later my Dad told me he voted for Goldwater... But to keep it under my hat on the job.
First Republican I campaigned for ( I was about 9 ).
