The most poignant memory I have of Uncle Teddy was watching him during the death of John John

[greenbriar]

I remember thinking what a lot of grief he has had to deal with as the leader of his family.


On that boat when they had the memorial service, I just remember thinking he has had to bear so much and remains so strong and keeps on championing for US>>

we simply called him "Jack."

It was rough.

3. You called JFK Jr. "Jack"?

I thought he was referred to as "John".
