JFK  

@ 108

John Fitzgerald Kennedy  born 108 years ago on this day was also known as JFK, was the 35th president of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. He was the first Roman Catholic and youngest person elected president at 43 years.[a] Kennedy served at the height of the Cold War, and the majority of his foreign policy concerned relations with the Soviet Union and Cuba. A member of the Democratic Party, Kennedy represented Massachusetts in both houses of the United States Congress prior to his presidency.

As a young boy of 6 my father took me down Orrmsby Alley in the Junction section of Pittston to meet him in  October of 1960. I remember a car with a spotlight tailing him as he waved to the crowds in the motorcade; He had the moist brilliant colored blue suit I have ever seen.
