    Never before, and never again will we see the Culture, Style and Elegance that President Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy brought to the White House and America. People today can't comprehend how much Mrs. Kennedy's Style was copied in Interior Design, Historic Preservation and Dress. Her magnificent Interiors ought to be restored, especially her Scenic Wallpaper in the Family Dining Room and her magnificent Blue Room which has NEVER been Surpassed in elegance. Thankfully her Red Room is still faithful to her original design in most aspects.

    How I loved President Kennedy. as a young girl coming into adulthood shortly, I was devastated by his assassination.. Mrs Kennedy adored her husband.... it was very visible.... I was honored to walk thru the President Kennedy Air Force One at The Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. I looked at the narrowness of the plane... where seats would be cut out for office settings .The Presidents being the largest. There was a sign pointing to where his casket lay... trying to imagine, I looked w.great sorrow. The HORROR for Mrs. Kennedy. UNIMAGINABLE... I said a prayer...🙏🏻🙏🏻😢 ❤
