What a great shot. I like the third guy from the left, first row. LOL

So Coney Island had a Polar Bear club 'way back then, huh?

President Kennedy (1917-1963) appears to be talking with Florida Governor Farris Bryant (1914-2002), seated to the President's left. Behind the President, smoking his pipe, is U.S. Senator Mike Mansfield (1953-1977). Seated beside Senator Mansfield (looking away) is U.S. Representative Claude Pepper (1900-1989). In front (L-R) is Edward Grant Stockdale (1915-1963), the U.S. Ambassador to Ireland, U.S. Congressman Dante Fascell (1917-1998), and the Governor's wife, Mrs. Julia Bryant (1918-1996). Congressmen Pepper and Fascell were Florida Democrats, and Senator Mansfield was a Montana Democrat, and the Senate Majority Leader. Stockdale was a former Florida State Representative. Governor Bryant, a Democrat, was in office from 1961-1965. – Excerpted from Florida Memory Reference with additional information added. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5] [ 6 ] [ 7 ]

Barcaldine is a hugely important and symbolic destination for visitors and travellers interested in the history of working people in Australia. It was here in 1891 that shearers, confronted with lower pay, went on strike, joined together in a camp outside the town and held meeting under "The Tree of Knowledge" - all events which played an important role in the formation of the Australian Labor Party. Today the town celebrates its historic radicalism with a Workers Heritage Centre, a Heritage Listed Shearers' Strike Camp Site and a beautifully re-created 'Tree of Knowledge'. The town is central to the Barcaldine Regional Council which covers 53,677 square kilometres and includes the towns of Alpha, Jericho, Aramac, and Muttaburra.
