PICTURES IN JOHNSON FAMILY ALBUM FORM BASIS OF NOSTALGIC FEATURE SEGMENT IN NBC NEWS' CONVENTION COVERAGE
NBC CONVENTION CENTRAL, ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 26 — How President Johnson’s family grew up together, how they spent their early Christmas holidays, and other intimate sidelights that illuminate the lives of America's First Family, were telecast last night (Aug. 25) in a 17minute segment of NBC News' convention coverage.
The feature was the result of an informal gathering of the Johnson family and NBC News correspondent Nancy Dickerson, during which many old and treasured pictures in the Johnson family album, informal snapshots never before seen by the public, were shown and discussed.
As Mrs. Dickerson and Mrs. Johnson, with the Johnson girls, Lynda and Luci, gathered over the album in the family living room at the White House, many memories were recalled. The Johnsons began collecting pictures for the album when the children were born and some intimate shots included the President playing with the children. One family photo revealed Mr. Johnson teasing Lynda by taking her bottle of milk.
A particularly poignant photo recalled a typical Johnson family Christmas party. Commenting nostalgically, Mrs. Johnson told the NBC News correspondent: nWe always went every Christmas Eve to Lyndon's mother's house, Mrs, Sam Johnson's, for a party with all the children and grandchildren. There was a tree, there were decorations and after¬ wards there was fruitcake.
