Kathy McKeon spent 13 years as Jacqueline Kennedy’s personal assistant and occasional nanny. McKeon was hired as Kennedy’s assistant in 1964, when McKeon was just 20 years old and recently arrived from Ireland. Rose Kennedy, Jacqueline’s mother-in-law, referred to McKeon as “Jackie’s girl” because she was perpetually by her side, even playing an important part in raising Caroline and John Jr. McKeon also aided Jacqueline during her courtship by Aristotle Onassis, as well as in the aftermath of the assassination of Robert Kennedy. Her book, “Jackie’s Girl: My Life with the Kennedy Family” (Gallery), provides personal insight on one of the most famous people of the 20th century.
Thomas Oliphant
Thomas Oliphant was a Washington reporter and columnist for The Boston Globe. He has recently published “The Road to Camelot: Inside JFK’s Five-Year Campaign” (Simon & Schuster), about President Kennedy’s rise to the White House and how close he came to losing the election. In 1975 the Globe won a Pulitzer Prize for its reporting on Boston school desegregation, and Oliphant was one of three editors who managed the coverage. Oliphant is often seen on public affairs programs such as the PBS “NewsHour” and “Face the Nation.” Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin called “The Road to Camelot”: “A freshly told, endlessly riveting story that captures the reader every step along the way.”

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
