Had Prescott remained until 1969 and if George, Sr. had been successful in TX in 1964 over the liberal 'Rat Senator Ralph Yarborough, they would've been the first father and son Senators serving concurrently in US History.

Actually, father Henry Dodge (D-WI) and son Augustus Caesar Dodge (D-IA) served in the Senate together from 1848-55.
