Think LBJ matches the bottom picture best
I don't believe that is LBJ in the top photo. The hair is gray and he has no neck ;)
He would have been 36 yoa. (DOB 08/27/1908)Quote:

That's right, I forgot about those things...but then again, he was from Texas? Everything's bigger?
Yes he was from Texas. I've been to Johnson, TX more than a few times too :D
If you are in the Fredricksburg/Johnson City area, there is what looks to be an outstanding Museum of the Pacific War. The Johnson Ranch is now open and lies between the two towns. Well worth the time. We plan to go back with a day to cover the WIP museum.
