John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. (November 25, 1960 - July 16, 1999)

John took the time to rekindle memories of his father. One day in 1978 Chuck Spalding dropped in on John while he was listening to a tape of one of his father’s speeches – a tribute to Eleanor Roosevelt – for a history class at Andover. “Listen!” he told Spalding, his voice filled with excitement. “Right here is where I crawl under the desk and Dad kicks me. It’s coming up now. Here it is. He was talking on the radio and I crawled under the desk and grabbed him.” - Christopher Andersen, The Good Son
