His hair was something that surprised me too. In those days most photos and TV newsreels that we saw were in black and white. Seeing JFK in person was so different.

He was deeply tanned, his white teeth actually flashed when he smiled. And I do remember noticing that his hair was a reddish, chestnut color. Or as your Mom said,,,mahogany.
