Curatorial Commentary
Smiling on the far right side of this photograph is U.S. Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas.  On the far left, the balding man with his hands behind is back is American Airlines executive Walter Henry Hagan.  He was, at that time, the celebrity greeter for Dallas Love Field. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
