President Kennedy

On March 26 my grandmother turned 96 years old. The old pictures came out and I thought this would be fun to post. Great Uncle Alec was commissioned to work on one of the fireplaces in the White House for President Kennedy. He was a marble worker from Italy.

Great Aunt Clara was upset, because when Jackie Kennedy came to join in the picture she stood next to the President and Aunt Clara had to move over. Aunt Clara wanted to stand next to the President. She is on the right, behind Jackie Kennedy. I also remember it being told that while Uncle Alec was working on the fireplace, Jackie Kennedy came to shake his hand. He didn't want to because they were dirty from working, but Jackie didn't care.
