Description
Former President Harry S. Truman shakes hands with an admirer as he prepares to depart Pryor Field in Decatur, Alabama, where he made a major address at a political rally for the Democratic Kennedy-Johnson ticket before a crowd of 10,000 plus. A peculiar reflection from the sun caused a shadow across the camera lens making it appear that Mr. Truman is wearing a skull cap. From: J.F. Rowden, Traffic Superintendent, Chemstrand Company, Decatur, Alabama
