Met him when I was about 6 years old. He was running to become the Vice President. One distinct memory, my Dad was taller than most men in our town, but LBJ, with his big white hat, towered over my Dad. He got down on his haunches and looked me right in the eye and shook my hand.

Thanks for showing this historic footage.  He seemed in good health for someone who passed away 10 days after this interview.
