GREAT QUOTES FROM MRS. KENNEDY AND ME“There we were, all over the globe, in some of the most exotic countries in the world, sharing laughs, living through some crazy adventures. When you travel with someone - particularly in foreign countries - you experience things that can't be fully appreciated by anyone who wasn't there.”
- Clint Hill “it's been a long time since i've thought about that night, that wonderful raucous night. I can still see the president s surprise and amusement while opening gifts. I can still hear the music, the guests singing along and the president having such a wonderful time surrounded by his closest family and friends. What a privilege it was to have been there, to witness the joy and laughter. But Always, when I remember that special birthday celebration on the Sequoia, I can't help but think it should not have been his last. At forty six it shouldn't have been his last.” - Clint Hill LEAVE YOUR OWN REVIEW HERERecordings of Jacqueline Kennedy Offer Rare Glimpse of Life With JFK |
