John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963)
Tomorrow, November 22, marks the 55th anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination in downtown Dallas, Texas. He was 46 years old. If Kennedy had lived, and were alive today, he would be 101--not a completely inconceivable age for him to have attained given the longevity of some on his mother Rose's side. Below is my favorite photograph of him, likely taken in late 1942. He’d have been 25.
A stick in me hand and a tear in me eye
A doleful damsel I heard cry,
Johnny I hardly knew ye.--from "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye", a popular Irish anti-war song written in early 1800s.
