LBJ celebrating his last Christmas, with family, LBJ Ranch, yesterday 1972. With ranch now open to public, this dining room looks much the same, except for that Lady Bird had linoleum floor yanked out and replaced by wood parquet after her husband’s death:

1. I still find it hard to believe he was only 64 when he died

He seemed older than that to me when he was President.

3. Roosevelt was 63 years, two months, and two weeks old. NT

4. Yep.

Not yet born when FDR was President, his age wasn’t something I thought about a lot. He did seem pretty old to me, however, especially in the final couple of years of his life.

5. That's because you were a lot younger

9. You're right, of course

I was 18 in 1973, so anyone age 50 or older was a total fossil.

2. Is that Linda Bird on the right, next to Chuck Robb?

6. Looks more like Lucie to me but could be.

7. My wife and I had the exact same chairs and floor....

...we sold the table and chairs about 25-30 years ago...

At any rate, LBJ had a tremendous influence that was much larger than he got credit for in today's world.

8. He died at 64 because of

Too many cigars, too much booze and too much Texas.
