Harry was an expert packer (p. 39)

Most people hate packing, but Harry Truman, true to his slightly obsessive nature, relished the task. This is the luggage he carried while campaigning for JFK in the 1960 presidential election. It is a very rare example of his packing light. For their road trip seven years earlier, he and Bess packed eleven suitcases! Photo courtesy of the Harry S. Truman Library.
