It was my first exposure to big time politicos in my new job at Channel 7.
The Happy Warrior, Hubert Horatio Humphrey, came to town.
The credential process was nothing like it is now. I think somebody wanted a list of who might be close to the Veep and then they typed it on a blue card that had been stamped with a number. I'm not even sure why he was here.
In Albuquerque, we have an elementary school named for HHH. Don't know how that happened, I do hope there's a plaque inside to tell of his many contributions to our society.
More of HHH's contributions are outlined here in part of a documentary that features some comments from Bill Moyers.
