1969 Press Photo San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto - RRV38795

Photo measures 8 x 11 in. San Francisco's Mayor Joseph Alioto pointed to an orange harvest moon and offered congratulations on the president's talk via radio with the Apollo 11 astronauts. This greeting brought a large smile to the president's face when he arrived at a Coast Guard station at the San Francisco airport. The president will continue his flight after a brief stop out into the Pacific to meet the moon-conquering astronauts after their splash down Thursday.
