Weblog van een oer Aalsmeerder. Mooie gedachten, muziek, foto's, Aalsmeerse historie en zo nu en dan een grapje. Sport, kleinkinderen, eiland op de Westeinder Plas,leuke filmpjes en kunst spelen zeer zeker ook een grote rol!

    Hi Eddie,
    Queen Elisabeth missed President Lyndon B. Johnson, why???
    The Queen would’ve assuredly met Johnson if she had attended JFK’s funeral, but she was pregnant at the time and could not make the trip. Prince Philip did attend and met Johnson. The subsequent birth of Edward in 1964 and the raising of her other children kept her from visiting abroad regularly in the 1960’s as much as other decades. She did not visit the U.S. between 1957 and 1976.

    Johnson, a great traveler within the U.S., only occasionally took trips outside the country (unlike other Presidents) and never made a scheduled trip to Europe. Johnson was no foriegn policy expert, (same can be said for his British counterpart Wilson) and so he chose to focus his Presidency on domestic issues.
    Greetings…..Els
