Byron White #93 (1917-2002)

Board #369 - Byron White #93 (1917-2002)

Justice White was nominated to the Court in 1962 by John Fitzgerald Kennedy. White was in the Navy, like Kennedy. White played football at Colorado and excelled in that enterprise. He played in the NFL as a running back and ran for the most yards. He was no dummy but a Rhodes scholar. He went to Harvard Law and played football. White and Kennedy met in England as Kennedy’s father was U.S. Ambassador to England. Kennedy as President nominated a virtual unknown to the Supreme Court. After 31 years of service, not a bad gamble.

This board presents two autographs: the first is found written on newsprint showing the October 1962 court lineup. The other I the outline of Justice whites hand showing his autograph contained within his palm. There are three photos.

1. What’s in the box? 2. do football players have a natural head bruise? 3. The court in appropriate dress. 3. It took 10 years for white to make the front row.
