Note: William H. Natcher and wife, Virginia, with members
and wives of the Kentucky delegation at Eisenhower Inaugural
Ball.
"When Virginia and I shook hands with Mr. and Mrs. Eisenhower
in this long line, Mrs. Eisenhower complimented Virginia on
her beautiful dress and said, 'Mrs. Natcher, turn around and
let me see in the back,' Virginia of course, was delighted
that Mrs. Eisenhower noticed her dress because she too thought
it was a beautiful dress. Virginia turned around once or twice
to let Mrs. Eisenhower have a better look.... The President
turned to me and said, 'Mr. Congressman, these women and their
dresses are really something' and he kind of smiled. Those
near us in the receiving line knew what was taking place but
way down the line some, of course, believed that we were just
holding up the process." [Journal vol. XL, p. 10,8867,
November 1, 1979]] |
