Bob was in Milwaukee, WI on April 2, 1968, visiting the newsroom of the Milwaukee Sentinel. I'm fairly certain a newspaper visit did not bring him all the way to Wisconsin, but don't know anything else about it. I see he still has the knack of taking off his glasses before a picture is taken of him.

The great Montgomery full-faced smile is still there.
Being a photographer himself, Bob helps the person assigned to get a head shot by holding his glasses in a rather unique manner. Nice shot.

That's interesting. The local papers used to have their archives on Google, but it's gone now. Hmm, election?
ReplyDeleteYeah, politics would be the best guess. I can see Bob traveling to Milwaukee for the party in a presidential year, to be guest speaker/master of ceremonies at a Republican fundraiser. And he might be visiting the Johnsons, as in Johnson & Johnson, the Mrs. being the former Irene Purcell. But that would be a secondary reason, they were in the same social circle in NYC, as the Johnsons had a place in Manhattan as well.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad about losing the archives. Sad to think of all that lost history.
