My late father, knew him well enough that….

When my oldest sister went in a high school trip to WashDC,
Not sure the year,,, I’d say about 1967..

My sister got permission from high school, and was allowed to meet
with Senator Yarborough staff,

And she and a classmate were escorted around in private tour,
Rode with the Senator in that underground Capital ‘train’,
Even ate in the Senate dining room at a table with
multiple Senators …..Yarborough, Ted Kennedy, and I can’t remember the others now anymore

Think this was b/c Dad was ‘involved’ in NSA etc
And I’m sure Dad was well know to all the Senators on the Intelligence Committee …..thus I believe my sister got attention that way I guess
