character development is going from calling him jfk to jack

There comes a time when you know so many personal anecdotes that Jack just becomes more appropriate, really

In my history class last semester I referred to RFK as Bobby, because obv, and one of my classmates was like “do you mean Attorney General Robert Kennedy?”

Me: I SAID WHAT I SAID

Oh my goodness something similar happened to me . . . I was presenting a case study on the Cuban Missile Crisis in class a few years ago and introduced him as “Robert F. Kennedy, who I will be calling Bobby throughout the presentation” and I was so mortified that I froze and my teacher laughed at me and honestly to this day I am both proud and horrified

This is how I pictured that “wonderful”, then “puzzled” expression Jackie described in the Theodore White interview.

JFK campaigns in West Virginia. Here he works Logan county, rugged country known for labor strife and hardball politics, Kennedy bulled with coal miners; visited backwaters like Omar, an old time mining camp, in pursuit of the porch and clothesline vote; wrote autographs for women shopping in a mine-company store; and when he spotted a crowd in Amherstdale, he used a campaign station wagon as a podium.

I read about this in a memoir! JFK was visiting Welch, West Virginia and the author apparently spoke to him about space (and was quite struck by how tan the senator was in the spring)

Happy 100th Birthday, John F. Kennedy!

Monday, May 29, 2017 marks what would have been President John F. Kennedy’s 100th birthday. As the JFK Library honors the legacy of the 35th President of the United States, metadata catalogers in the Archives Digitization division are working on describing nitrate negatives from the Kennedy Family Collection photographs that feature snapshots of John F. Kennedy’s life originating from his birth until the early 1950s. The photographs exhibit a more private, personal side of his life not often seen by the public.

Read more about the nitrate cataloging project or view recently cataloged nitrate negatives on our website.
