It's refreshing to see President Kennedy being in a situation smiling and Jackie close by his side. As opposed to the assassination tape all the time.

Saw JFK in my hometown and he promised he would come back to Wheeling, WV after he won the election. He kept his word.

What history this film is. Anything JFK is priceless because he was a priceless president.

What might have been...what was...that is what God had granted them. President Kennedy's life was one of a kind. Through his short fairytale story on Earth, JFK is immortal. May God rest his soul in peace in Heaven, an everglowing spirit. Amen

So glad he was able to save it for 60 years. I had a bunch of films, photos, and cassette tapes I recorded as a kid and put them all in my parents garage where I assumed they'd be safe. Then Sandy flooded the garage and before I could get to it it was all thrown out. . I luckily had some essential things already transferred to digital, but the originals, gone.

JFK was classy. Sharp. Say what you may about him the Man had pizzazz and style. So did Jackie.

Movie film, slides, and stills were very vivid back then - technicolor - my father took hundreds of 35mm slides and they have retained all of the colors from the 1950's, 1960's and so on.

[frankiebarbrey]

What a Great daughter! I'm sure your Dad is so proud of you.

It's a shame all those embedded swamp creatures took to disliking JFK. America would be much different if LBJ had been left in the Senate and not picked as VP.

[madhawaiian]

It is really ignorant for Deborah Tucker to call her "Jacqueline Onassis" when it is a 1960 film of then Jackie Kennedy. Especially calling her "Onassis" in the context of a film of her with JFK.

[malcolmmarzo]

"What might have been." There would be no Vietnam disaster. Decades later I learned about JFK's withdrawal order being reversed by the coup group. When I heard about the JFK murder in my high school classroom I didn't know that my ticket to Vietnam was prepared.

[WilliamMurray-lrbb]

She was Jackie Kennedy then, not Onassis !

It is so Incredible…the saddest lose who had so much to offer this country
I have a happy 1st birthday telegram from Robert F Kennedy February 1965
