Back of Photo, caption reads:"#2. The picture in a PAA airplane. I don't know the date. It shows Earl Warren (later Chief Justice) who was running for Vice President. He is the man seated with a map. Behind him, wearing glasses is Senator Spessard Holland (who, while Governor of Florida during the war got authorization for Everglades National Wildlife Refuge through as an interim protection measure until it could become a park). I am the one in NPS uniform. Senator George Smathers stands behind me. John Pennekamp is seated on the arm of the seat. Of course, John was editor (associate editor) of the Miami Herald and legislative chairman for the Everglades national park Commission. We flew over the park to get Earl Warren's support for increasing the size of the area." Locality: Photo Source: Pan American/ World Airways Keywords: Dignitaries; park Employees.
