I was the same age as you also on Long Island. My parents were republicans and had voted for Nixon. There was something very special about those Camelot years.
Well I sorta liked this wedding story & photos.

Theres Youtube videos of her speeches. Every third or fourth word is “you know”.
“The groom’s father — the famously domineering Joseph Kennedy — was involved in every detail of wedding planning, including the dress,(snip)”
Joe had planned for his oldest son, Joe Jr, to be President. That unraveled when Joe Jr was killed in World War 2. Jack was next in line and Joe was determined that Jack would be President.
Jackie was a young woman who was from an acceptable family, had gone to acceptable schools and had the necessary pedigree to be acceptable to Joe.
Joe Kennedy planned everything from Jack and Jackies courtship to the wedding and may have even required proof that the marriage had been consummated. He was that much of power freak.
Lovely post.
Good catch.
Exactly my point she sounded like some teenage Valley girl, just STUNNING!!!
Whores all
And it turns out that Jackie made up the whole ‘Camelot’ thing. Yep, it was a figment of her imagination but the press just ate it up.
Her one true love isn’t seen in this pic I think. (RFK)
Mary Todd Lincoln had a black dressmaker too...former slave, Elizabeth Keckley.
Here’s a funny story. My dad was a writer and he did articles on people he did a story on the. Senator Jack Kennedy for the Saturday evening post. He relayed to me that the most memorable thing about that story to him was when he went to their apartment in New York Jackie Kennedy answered the door in a short bathrobe. All he remembers is that she was incredibly bowlegged from the horse riding I guess.
Great story.
Jackie who?
