CAG Newsletter | Summer 2017 | Page 7 100TH BIRTHDAY OF JFK Hazel Denton

n Monday afternoon, May 29, a special celebration was held at Martin's Tavern, with a champagne toast to JFK. A presentation was made by Kim OCiftci to Billy Martin IV of the famous photo of JKF driving through Washington on a rainy afternoon, taken by his mother, Claire C. Ciftci. “I gave my Mom a pocket camera and she took it everywhere with her.” Thus she caught the well-known photo of JFK, which will now hang in the Kennedy Booth. Fol- lowing this celebration, several participants walked up to Holy Trinity Church for a Memorial Mass. The priest invited reminiscences from the congregation, and about twenty people took turns standing up and sharing anecdotes. The afternoon was very much a celebration of JFK in his neighborhood.
