DALLAS (AP)—Former Vice President John Nance Garner isn't going to miss out on any hunting trips even if his shooting eye isn't as good as it used to be.
State Highway Engineer DeWitt Greer, paying a recent visit to the 87-year-old Garner at Uvalde, said he asked:
"Do you still go hunting like you used to, Mr. Garner?"
"No, I still go along on the hunt, but I let the other fellows do the hunting," Garner told him. "Son, I can't see much farther than from here to you."
"I let the other boys do the hunting. I just drive the truck."
