HAPPY EASTER!!
Speaking of Easter, have you ever been to Atlantic City’s
Board Walk on Easter Morning for the Easter Parade? I have, when I was stationed in New
Jersey. It is very enjoyable.
Speaking of being on Atlantic City’s Boardwalk, we were
there again on August 27, 1964. We were
outside the Democratic Convention grand party whenT hey picked Lyndon B.
Johnson as their presidential candidate.
It was LBJ’s birthday. As a
special treat with expert fireworks technician they had a portrait of LBJ in fireworks over the
waters of the Atlantic Ocean. He and
Lady Bird came out on a balcony of the Convention Hall and approved of his portrait
and waved at us jeering common folks. We
waved back.
That same night, walking back to the parking lot in the
dark, we saw a gang chase down someone with a sign and started whipping on him
and the police suddenly materialized and broke it up.
Anyway, HAPPY EASTER!!
