That sounds right because we just passed the 57th anniversary of his fathers death.

Tomorrow. His birthday was 11-25.  On 11-25-63, the day his father was buried, after receiving dignitaries and heads of state in the White House, Jackie arranged a small birthday party for him. He was just 3 years old. What a sad day for all of us who were alive then. I don't know how Jackie could held up that day let alone have a party for her son. She was an incredible mother.

She had the strength and the prayers of a united country behind her.  She raised both of her children to be respected adults.  I was lucky enough to meet Caroline about 10 years ago.  She was delightful....she carried herself with such grace and elegance, yet was so open and friendly.

OMG @LindaSal  I can't believe you said that about marrying him.  When I met his sister, I told her we were supposed to be sisters in law.    She laughed and said I have cousins I can introduce you too.

I agree and to think she was only 33 years old herself. I remember her saying in an interview that if you bungle the job of raising your children, nothing else you do really matters. For all the appearances of upper class wealth, she had a lonely, dysfunctional upbringing herself with an alcoholic father who disappointed her over and over and showed up on her wedding day drunk and unable to escort her down the aisle. Money can’t buy everything.

I wonder what he would have become?  and what he would have done in his life?
