“I think probably, Bobby could be singled out as the most thoughtful and considerate of all the Kennedy children. The rest of them were very pleasant and thoughtful to an extent but I think Bobby was more loyal and considerate to strangers and to people outside the family, than the rest of the children were.” — Luella Hennessy, Kennedy family nurse

Bobby age 9, with his younger siblings Jean and Teddy ca. 1935.

Fading Light In Bronxville

An approaching northbound commuter train pulled by a New York Central T-motor is at Bronxville on the Harlem Line.

The Esso station in the background is long gone, razed to make room for more station parking, but the building behind it still exists as part of Sarah Lawrence College. 1964

November 6th, 1941 - Joan, aged 5, and her sister Candace, 3, are featured in the ‘our album’ section of the Bronxville Review-Press newspaper. 

Here is the original caption: ‘Joan and Candace Bennett, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wiggins Bennett Jr., of 8 Midland Gardens (Bronxville, NY). Joan is 5 and goes to kindergarten while Candace is 3 and very anxious for the day when she can go to kindergarten too. The Bennetts moved to the village from New York City two years ago and plan to have their pretty young daughters go to school here’. 

This is BY FAR the earliest photo of her I’ve got. I wish it was more HQ but oh well, the newspaper is very old. Joan was featured quite often in the Bronxville Press.
