The last of the Gemini astronauts, James Lovell Jr. and Edwin Aldrin, came to be decorated by the President, along with a galaxy of NASA and space industry officials. On Thanksgiving, Pat and Luci Nugent, Lynda Bird, Lyndon's Aunt Jessie Hatcher and his cousin, Oriole Bailey, along with Lady Bird's nephew, T. J. Taylor III and his family, and Mrs. Jessie Hunter, curator of the President's boyhood home, dropped in to eat turkey (one domestic, one wild), cornbread dressing, string beans, whipped sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping...
