![]() ![]() ![]() John told his students during an evening chapel: ![]() *I remember, in a documentary made after JFK’s death, the pro football star quarterback Johnny Unitas describing Jack as a “fun-loving guy”.Ĭhris says it was the solitude of Jack’s many hospital stays that made him “crave for company” & that “new people…energized him (& brought out) his…wit & charm.”Īt the end of Chapter 1, Chris writes that “perhaps the most significant legacy from Choate” was when headmaster George St. became the perfect son his parents expected, unlike Joe Jr, “there was a lightness to (Jack), a wry Irishness that blended with the WASP manner rather than aspiring to it.”Ĭhris tells us that at Choate (prep school) Jack Kennedy’s “great success was to find ways to have fun.”* While Jack Kennedy had a hard act to follow as Joe Jr. Chris tells us that it is “important to know” that it was not Jack, the 2nd son, but Joe Jr., the 1st son, who was expected by his parents to be “what they long(ed) to be.” ![]()
