Eisenhowers visit Gettysburg farm for prebirthday weekend
President and Mrs. Eisenhower drove to their Gettysburg farm for a quiet pre-birthday celebration for grandson David Eisenhower II, who turns 10 on Monday. The trip from the White House was delayed to allow Dwight David Eisenhower II to ride along after school in Alexandria, Virginia. Mrs. Eisenhower went ahead by car, stopping at a capital-area supermarket to buy food, shrimp, chicken and bread for about five dollars and ninety cents, with a Secret Service agent pushing the cart. The two-hour, 60-mile trip was uneventful, with Maj. Gen. Howard Snyder and other aides and photographers in the entourage.
