DAYS WITH JFK





Yes, I was with him twice. The first time in October of 1958, when, as a Senator he was hosted at a reception in the Massasoit Hotel in Spencer, Massachusetts, where I took this picture of him and Mrs. Kennedy as they left.
The next time was on Sunday, November 24, 1963, when I spent 18 hours in a crowd that passed throught the Rotunda of the Capital at about 2 Monday morning. We were fortunate to be given extra time in the presence of the body because the crowd had to remain in place while Mrs. Kennedy paid a late night visit to the casket. It's never stopped seeming like yesterday.
