Jack & Jackie Kennedy Valentine’s Day Post!

“She [Jackie] had a fantastic desire for historical knowledge, and she was a sponge once she learned it. She caught every nuance. And she wanted to know American history not just for herself, but for her husband. They were almost competitive in the knowledge they consumed; very much like Henry and Clare Luce, in trying to one-up the other on historical facts and so forth, and I think on many points, well, he almost acquiesced that she knew more about history than he did.”         ~Letitia Baldrige 

“I’d say that he was devoted to Jackie. I’d say that it was absolutely unquestionable. But of course–it didn’t mean he didn’t have an eye for others. He was made that way, but undoubtedly he and Jackie got along like a house on fire; they were always having fun together.”  ~Frank O’Ferrall 

“I think he greatly admired some of Jackie’s qualities. But often I think he reacted very differently to things than she did because he had a less introverted nature. At least, this is the way he seemed to me. But sometimes he would look at her with a really puzzling look, but he would never say anything hurting to anybody. She was constantly writing him little jingles and poems and bringing him little presents with appropriate rhymes accompanying them…Jackie had a sometimes fairly distorted sense of humor, but nobody could be funnier.”  ~Janet Lee Auchincloss

From the EMK Institute: 

"Now, I’m a guy, so I can’t give a real opinion on how attractive JFK is. But, I can say this. Jacqueline was gorgeous. I mean beyond gorgeous. If you think this woman is not beautiful then there is something wrong with you. She was intelligent, strong and had tremendous class. As First Lady, Jacqueline brings in all kinds of authors, musicians, scientists, poets, all kinds of people. She literally turns the White House into this American Court and helps this country restore its former elegance. She also does a huge restoration of the White House, which was an amazing accomplishment. Jacqueline was just simply amazing. No other First Lady will ever compare to her.”

-My US History Professor

This is so amazing

"…she would tuck a bare shoulder up under the arm of an important man, and then whisper in their ear. And men would just fall at her feet…"

Everywhere I went Mrs. Kennedy caused a sensation. At one point, a baby elephant was paraded in front of her and she asked, "May I touch him?" Agent Jeffries said, "No, Mrs. Kennedy that’s not a good idea,"  at the same time the elephant’s handler said, "yes, that’s fine."

Mrs. Kennedy reached right over to touch his trunk, and the little elephant reacted as if it were being tickled, wrapping it’s stubble-covered trunk around her hand. She was laughing hysterically - she just loved animals - while Jeffries looked like he was about ready to physically remove her from the situation.

Their relationship us the most beautiful thing I mean look at them two beautiful people

"There’d been the biggest motorcade from the airport. Hot. Wild. Like Mexico and Vienna. The sun was so strong in our faces. I couldn’t put on sunglasses… Then we saw this tunnel ahead, I thought it would be cool in the tunnel, I thought if you were on the left the sun wouldn’t get into your eyes…" -Jacqueline Kennedy

"She had an extraordinary ability to be interested in the person she was working with. She makes you feel you could do almost anything. Any man married to Jackie probably would have had to become president of the United States."
