Description
Riker posing at the cockpit door to his plane. He is wearing a suit, with plaid tie and fedora. "Father Wm. E. Riker K-I-G-Y" is written on the door. [Note: KIGY is an acronym for "Klansman I Greet You". In 1934, Riker wrote to Fisher that he had acquired a new plane; he also began his association with the KKK in 1934.] [This is an enlargement of a smaller print that was not included in the donation]
