Former President Harry S. Truman Sits at the White House Piano with Margaret Truman Daniel

Former president Harry S. Truman sits at the White House piano with his daughter, Margaret Truman Daniel, who seems to be having quite a laugh. The Kennedys were hosting the Trumans in a White House dinner in their honor. In her book, Margaret Truman Daniel said that Jacqueline Kennedy took this picture and later sent a print to the Trumans. The picture is torn in the upper right corner.
