President Dwight D. Eisenhower at Laurel Valley Golf Club Signed Photo w/Palmer - Framed - Patty Aikens Collection
Through the lens of a fortunate photographer, Arnold Palmer and President Dwight D. Eisenhower pose and look at the camera during a golf outing at Laurel Valley Golf Club where Arnie & Ike played quite frequently. Arnold Palmer's secretary Patty Aikens received this signed photo from IKE, a slightly intimidating individual that she met through Arnie. Five-star General Dwight D. Eisenhower served as the 34th President of the United States for two terms from 1953 to 1961 and was known as an avid golfer, with a close relationship to Bobby Jones and Augusta National Golf Club. IKE was beloved by many and played a large part in the United States history, exhibiting leadership when the nation needed it the most and that will always be remembered. In our estimation the photograph was taken between 1960-65. 14 1/2" x 11 1/4." James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
