Former President Truman preparing to depart from Decatur, Alabama

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
