Flagpole tribute marks Lyndon Johnson funeral day
In Hill Top Estates Sorrento Reverend E J Ramey built a 20 foot flagpole and named it The Johnson Flag to fly on Lyndon Johnson’s funeral day. Sears furnished the pole and a local shop provided a flag while Barry Ramey crafted a metal eagle for the top. The Vietnam ceasefire news prompted quiet observances across Mount Dora with church bells tolling and residents watching national events. A child’s visitor form entry stating Forever appeared in a church pew, and a letter warning a friend’s death being reported in the Topic was clarified as funeral plans.
