Historian Steven M. Gillon recalls his friendship with John F. Kennedy Jr. on the 20th anniversary of his fatal plane crash. The life of the late magazine publisher is being chronicled in a new A&E documentary titled 'Biography: JFK Jr — The Final Year,' as well as a book by Gillon titled 'America's Reluctant Prince.'
Steven M. Gillon can vividly recall when he and his pal John F. Kennedy Jr. were at a bar watching a fight on the big screen and a man pushed him aside and exclaimed “You’re John!” hugging the son of late President John F. Kennedy.
“He said, ‘I loved your father,’” Gillon recalled to Fox News. “That happened a lot. A couple of minutes later, the guy comes out again. He’s dragging his wife behind him and says, ‘Marilyn, I want you to meet my friend, John F. Kennedy Jr.’ John reaches out and he says, ‘Hi, Marilyn. I’ve heard so much about you. I’m glad I finally got to meet you.’ And I looked at him. He had just met this guy 20 minutes ago. And John said, ‘What was wrong with that? I made two people really happy.’

Right... Hillary killed off JFK Jr and the rest of the Kennedys and Democrats all looked the other way and let it go.
How much per year do the Kennedys spend on advertising themselves?
VFR pilot flying in IMC. It’s one thing flying solo, but he took his wife and sister-in-law down with his pride.
I seem to remember it was the Kennedy family who chose to support Obama over Hillary for the candidacy, which was a seem as a slight to the Clintons. Could it have been because the Kennedys suspected Arkancide in JFK, Jr.’s death? Don’t know, but would guess being denied the candidacy ing 2008 was probably the worse thing to ever happen to Hillary, at least until she obtained the candidancy and loss the race to a non-politician.
You forgot Kathleen (Kennedy) Cavendish, the Marchioness of Hartington, who died in a plane crash in May 1948. She’s the daughter whose children would have had to been raised Church of England. . . shocking gasp by her Catholic family. I think of her death as the saddest as she defied her family & married for love & as a young widow was planning to do so again, to the 8th Earl of Fitzwilliam, who died with her in the plane crash which was taking them to visit her father and ask for his blessing which he was refusing to give.
If he were truly intent on those two things - pursuing politics, saving marriage - those would indeed make him a viable threat.
The Kennedy family supported Obama, so if the Clintons had any thing to do with these tragic deaths, the Kennedys got her back by denying her the one thing she wants most in all the world, the presidency. I remember hearing that the Clintons were sure Ted & family would support her until they didn’t and supported Obama instead.
I call bunk on this. Jr. had no real interest in pursuing politics and why would he. The guy had lots of money and his magazine, which I kind of liked. Also the guy was more Conservative on many issues than he was a liberal. It’s another fantasy the democrats dreamed of.
I remember that the lovely couple had huge cocaine habits.
You forgot rapist William Kennedy Smith.
I never read anything about that.
Yeah, John John was going to run for the senate seat that Hillary wanted and he would have kicked Hillary’s ass.
So she and Bill had him killed.
Had one of their minions tamper with his plane.
Course him doing Coke while flying didn’t help.
