Lauris Norstad Trout Fishing in Bavaria

Exterior view of one time NATO commander General Lauris Norstad standing in a Bavarian stream and trout fishing. Charles Thayer wrote an article entitled "The Feudal Trout of Bavaria" for Sports Illustrated magazine, the April 28, 1958 issue, concerning trout fishing in Bavaria. Typed on the back side of this photograph: "Norstad catching a 3 pounder with his 2 oz. Orvis." Also typed on back: "Much less expertly I snapped the camera--catching the trout all right but completely missing the obliging general's head." Has original 35mm negative.
