I never met JFK
My dad and RFK, Sr. were good friends. Pierre Salinger lived near us, and my dad asked him for a favor early in 1963. Salinger was able to comply with my dad’s request, and on my 11th birthday, I got an autographed photo of JFK made out to me personally. I still have that photo, in its original frame, here in my house in Germany.
