For biography visit Congressional site; http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay-pl?index=P000091 Had to get a Rice plug in Harriet. :) He visited his Aunt and cousins on the family ranch in Riceville, Cascade County, Montana around 1925. I have a very bad picture of him and his aunt and cousins on that visit. Also have a copy of the news clipping announcing his appointment to the Senate. If anyone is interested.
