Larry McDonald in 4th of July Parade

This is Congressman Larry McDonald (1935-1983) in an Independence Day Parade on the 4th of July about 1980. I was using my 35mm Minolta with a barrel 200mm zoom lens. Larry stopped the parade and posed so I could get some good shots. I suppose with that shotgun looking lens he might have thought I was the press. Surprise! As we know the Korean Airlines plane he was flying in September 1, 1983, was shot down by Soviet Interceptors for violating air space. I just noticed that the flight number was 007. As in Bond, James Bond. Ironic isn't it?
