What's your earliest memory of seeing a US president?
Mine - in 1950, when Eisenhower stopped in Fort Worth while on a visit to Texas. My dad held me (age 1) up in the air to see Ike in the crowd. I unfortunately did not recognize the importance of the event, and, scared of being held up in the air, I peed on my dad's head. Maybe I was disappointed that Ike wasn't president yet?
Ike, Amon Carter (newspaper magnate), and Sid Richardson (oil magnate), Hotel Texas, 1950.
So - what's your earliest memory of seeing a President (or Prime Minister) ?
