    LYNDON  B.  JOHNSON
    (1908-1973
    )
    In the 1960 campaign, Lyndon B. Johnson was elected Vice President as John F. Kennedy’s running mate. On November 22, 1963, when Kennedy was assassinated, Johnson was sworn in as the 36th United States President, with a vision to build “A Great Society” for the American people.
    f
    “A Great Society” for the American people was the vision of President Johnson. In his first years of office he obtained passage of one of the most extensive legislative programs in the Nation’s history. The Great Society program became Johnson’s agenda for Congress in January 1965: aid to education, attack on disease, Medicare, urban renewal, beautification, conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-scale fight against poverty, control and prevention of crime and delinquency, removal of obstacles to the right to vote. Congress, at times augmenting or amending, rapidly enacted Johnson’s recommendations. Millions of elderly people found succor through the 1965 Medicare amendment to the Social Security Act.
    f
    The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the most comprehensive civil rights legislation ever enacted by Congress. It contained extensive measures to dismantle Jim Crow segregation and combat racial discrimination.
    The Voting Rights Act of 1965 removed barriers to Black enfranchisement in the South, banning poll taxes, literacy tests, and other measures that effectively prevented Black Americans from voting.

    “March 23, 1949
    Dear Adrian:
    a
    Your letter of March 15 was read to me over the phone since they have me laid up for tests and observations here at Bethesda.
    a
    As you know, the recall to active duty situation as far as the Air Force is concerned is very tight at this time, but because of your interest I will do my best to see that Major Graviss's application is given every consideration.
    a
    Since the Major was formally a member of the Infantry, it may be that he is anxious to go back into that branch of the service. If so, let me know and I will look into that possibility.
    a
    Warren told me of your many kindnesses to him while he was in Texas and, of course, you know I appreciate that very much.
    a
    Best personal regards,
    a
    Sincerely

    Honorable Adrian A. Spears

    typed at the conclusion after receipt by Spears:
    CC - Mr. D. F. Sheridan
    145 Elizabeth Place
    San Antonio, Texas.   3-28-49
    The February 1, 1952, edition of
    The Courier-Journal,
    Louisville, Kentucky, reported that "Mr. and Mrs. George Graviss with their grandson, Master Pat Graviss, have returned from San Antonio, where they visited their son, Maj. George Raymond Graviss, and Mrs. Graviss. Major Graviss has since left for duty in Tokyo." I do not know if this is the Major Graviss mentioned by Sen. Johnson in the 1949 letter here offered.  --- Herman
    Personal friend of Lyndon B. Johnson Adrian Anthony Spears (1910-1991) was a lawyer in San Antonio, Texas, from 1937 to 1961. He served as a Special District Judge of the State of Texas in 1951. On October 5, 1961, recommended by his friend new Vice President Lyndon Johnson, Spears received a recess appointment from President John F. Kennedy to a newly created seat on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. Formally nominated by JFK on January 15, 1962, Spears was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on March 16, 1962, and received his commission the following day. He served as Chief Judge from 1962-1979, assuming senior status on October 10, 1979. Judge Adrain A. Spears retired from the court entirely on December 31, 1982.

    In 2011, Herman Darvick appeared on the “1775 Almanac”
    episode of PBS's
    History Detectives
    as the “handwriting expert”
    If you go to
    www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/investigation/1775-almanac
    ,
    you can see the entire "1775 Almanac" episode
    I was the handwriting expert contacted in the "1775 Almanac" episode on the PBS series "History
    Detectives" which was televised on Tuesday, September 6, 2011. I was asked to identify the writer of the notes handwritten on the pages of the almanac, notes that recorded, among other events, the Battles of Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill.
    The unknown owner of the almanac had used it as a diary. Filmed in the Library of Congress, I compared the writing in the almanac with a signed letter handwritten in 1779. --- Herman Darvick
