I recently wrote an article for my blog where I told the story of then Veep Lyndon Johnson meeting a camel cart driver in Karachi Pakistan in 1960 during a whistle stop tour of Asia on behalf of President Kennedy.

I was wondering if anyone on here has heard that story, because its certainly a very interesting little anecdote of history, and if you haven't heard the story would you be interested in reading it on my blog? I'd love to share the story with anyone interested!

Thank you for bringing this story to light.

I had not heard about it previously.

I have read it, and it is indeed very interesting.
