RE: Presidential Trivia
And your guess would be correct, Roger. Well done!
Also you 'answered' the trick part of the question ("what became of him"). We don't know.
Your prize for telling us what had become of him ... would have been a knock on the door from gentlemen wearing sunglasses, white trench coats (I think you call them), ear pieces, talking into their wrists, and wanting to invite you to discuss more fully all the details.

Harold Holt went swimming Dec 17th 1967 alone in rough surf, although people watched from the beach, and disappeared.

I was at a meeting recently where his son spoke. He recalled the memorial service which LBJ had attended. He said that LBJ had asked to speak to Harold Holt's children and had provided them with very genuine and very comforting thoughts about his friendship with Harold Holt and the type of man that he was.

It does seem a little odd that there is a Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Pool in what was his electorate. But apparently it was being built before the disappearance.
