Sargent Chairman JFK Library Foundation Dear Friends, Co-Chairs Paul and Sandy Edgerley Sixty years ago, in his Inaugural Address, President Kennedy set forth a vision for America. David H.

His words and deeds have echoed throughout the decades, continuing to inspire people of all ages and from all walks of life. While we cannot gather this year at the JFK Presidential Library, we are thrilled to come together in a new way and continue the Foundation’s tradition of celebrating President Kennedy’s belief that public service—and those who make it their life’s work—can be a force for good in our world. Never has it been more important for young people to realize their power to make a difference, and the JFK Library is honored to play a role in our national efforts to instill the ideals of civic engagement and service in tomorrow’s leaders. Thank you for your partnership and for joining us as we pay tribute to the quality that President Kennedy most admired—courage.

    ROSE FITZGERALD KENNEDY GREENWAY CONSERVANCY ANNUAL REPORT JULY 1, 2008-JUNE 30, 2009 _______________________________________________________________ CONTENTS: PAGE: Key Accomplishments ………………………………………………………. 1 Summary of Financial Statements …………………………………………. 3 Donors ………………………………………………………………………... 4 Conservancy Staff ………………………………………………………..….. 15 Board of Directors and Leadership Council …………….………………... 16 Audited Financial Statements ……………………………………… Addendum KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway (“the Greenway”) is one of the largest and most important public projects in Boston’s history, and it is just beginning to realize its full potential. A Greenway “district” is emerging, with more cafés, retail stores, entertaining and educational attractions, and new investments in properties adjacent to the Greenway. The Greenway itself is an integral part of this evolution, expressing the best of Boston though horticulture and the arts. As the steward of the Greenway, the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Conservancy (“the Conservancy”) has been working to achieve a shared vision of the Greenway as a physical and civic connector. The Conservancy is proud to present an overview of our accomplishments for the past year in the areas of park operations, public programs, fundraising and support. PARK OPERATIONS Inspired by the life of Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, the Conservancy’s approach to everything we do blends the practical with the principled. To support public health and maintain the newly restored water quality in Boston Harbor, our park operations staff (five positions) has made a commitment to use methods and products that are environmentally responsible and avoid the use of toxic chemicals. The park maintenance team has grown to include individuals with disabilities, subcontracted from Work, Inc., and soon will incorporate Boston teens and young adults through the Conservancy’s Green and Grow youth workforce development program.

    The Broken Presidential Destiny of JFK, Jr., by Laurent Guyéno... http://www.unz.com/article/the-broken-presidential-destiny-of... The Unz Review: An Alternative Media Selection A Collection of Interesting, Important, and Controversial Perspectives Largely Excluded from the American Mainstream Media The Broken Presidential Destiny of JFK, Jr. Israel's "Kennedy Curse"? LAURENT GUYÉNOT • FEBRUARY 11, 2019 • 15,500 WORDS • 322 COMMENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS On July 16, 1999, John Fitzgerald Kennedy Junior was flying his private Piper Saratoga II, with his wife Carolyn Bessette and his sister-in-law Lauren Bessette. He was to drop Lauren off at Martha’s Vineyard, then fly on with Carolyn to Hyannis Port for the wedding of his cousin, Rory Kennedy, the following day. At 9:39, as he was approaching Martha’s Vineyard airport, John radioed the control tower for landing instructions, giving no sign of difficulty. At 9:41 p.m., witnesses heard and saw an explosion in the sky, at the precise moment when John’s plane suddenly plummeted into the ocean at the radar-recorded speed of 4,700 feet per minute. The next day, pieces of luggage from the plane were found floating nearly two miles away from the point of last radar contact. The search and recovery operations were conducted by the Air Force and the Navy under national security conditions, with news reporting controlled from the Pentagon. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) concluded its investigation eleven months later, and announced as “probable cause” of the plane crash “the pilot’s failure to maintain control of the airplane”, with “haze and the dark night” being possible factors.[1] The corporate media amplified the implication that John was an inexperienced and reckless pilot who ignored the dangerous weather conditions and who is to blame for his own death and the death of his wife and sister-in-law.

  • Page 1 of 2 Mvtimes Online
    MVTimes Online - The Martha's Vineyard Times: Island News Now Page 1 of 2 Subdivision planned for Kennedy land November 10, 2005 By Nelson Sigelman Agents for Caroline Kennedy last week filed a subdivision plan for the Kennedy family property in Aquinnah, proposing to divide a total of 366 acres now in the form of 31 separate parcels of land into seven large lots. The plan was presented to members of the Aquinnah planning board last Thursday night as part of an estate planning effort by Ms. Kennedy, daughter of the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and the late president John F. Kennedy. The plan, according to Ms. Kennedy's representatives, was designed to preserve the character of the secluded and beautiful Kennedy estate set among the woodlands, dunes, and coastal moors of Aquinnah and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Squibnocket Pond. Under local and state zoning requirements, the subdivision plan does not require planning board approval because each building lot created has frontage on an approved road. However, the plan does require review by the Martha's Vineyard Commission as a development of regional impact (DRI) because of its size. MVC review is required for any development that proposes to divide a contiguous or related ownership of land of 30 acres or more, except when divided into less than six parcels that are irrevocably prohibited from further division. Planning board members, who signed off on the plan the same night it was submitted, were unreserved in their praise. "It's ideal," said Camille Rose, planning board chairman and Aquinnah selectman.

  • Kennedy: Ser O No Ser En La Política Norteamericana
    ANALES 2011:ANALES 2011 4/11/11 13:45 Página 413 KENNEDY: SER O NO SER EN LA POLÍTICA NORTEAMERICANA Por el Académico de Número Excmo. Sr. D. Fabián Estapé Rodríguez* Quizá, tras citar el título de esta alocución, pueda pensarse que hemos echamos mano a trabajos ya realizados para salir del paso en esta ocasión en la que se nos requiere exponer un tema ante los miembros de esta Real Academia. Quiero, no obstante, dejar claro, antes de pasar a realizar mi exposición que, en este caso, bajo un título similar al artículo publicado el año pasado en la revista Anales, se pre- sentan, sin embargo, nuevos aspectos sobre los avatares de la saga de los Kennedy. Pues bien, cuando ya creía que con la muerte del congresista Edward Moore, Ted o Teddy Kennedy, había quedado extinta la participación en los teje- manejes políticos de América de los miembros de esta progenie, cerrándose con ello toda una era, revisando mi hemeroteca, releí un artículo fechado el 3 de Enero de 2009 que me hizo cuestionar si el “semillero” estaba o no, realmente agotado: la hija de JFK, la hermana de John F. Kennedy Jr. (muerto en trágico accidente de aviación y con el que dicen se fue la última esperanza de ver a un católico en la presidencia nuevamente), quería entrar en el “negocio familiar”, la política. Caroline Bouvier Kennedy Schlossberg había decidido que ya era hora de tomar las riendas y mantener la brecha abierta por su abuelo Joseph en la esfera política norteamericana. Con más de 50 años, y tres hijos a sus espaldas, la única legataria de la familia Kennedy-Bouvier, quería ser senadora por Nueva York, ocu- pando el sitial que Hillary Clinton dejó vacante al ser nombrada secretaria de Estado del gobierno de Barack Obama.

    Most, Doug. “Behind the Kennedy Institute Experience with Edwin Schlossberg.” The Boston Globe, March 26, 2015. http://www.bostonglobe.com/magazine/2015/03/26/behind- kennedy-institute-experience-with-edwin- schlossberg/Wl4KQP3wufol0IZOLBJlFI/story.html Behind the Kennedy Institute experience with Edwin Schlossberg The story of the software, the programs, the tablets, and Ted Kennedy’s vision for his institute. By Doug Most MARCH 26, 2015 Ahead of the opening of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate on Tuesday, the Globe Magazine is exploring the history of the project and Kennedy’s vision for it. The building honors Edward M. Kennedy, but the fingerprints all over what the visitor experience will be belong to Edwin Schlossberg, the husband of Kennedy’s niece, Caroline Kennedy. The founder of ESI Design in New York, Schlossberg created the software that users will play with to experience being a senator, the exhibitions they will interact with as they walk the spacious hallway, and the programs that will fill the time of their visit. In a wide-ranging conversation with the Globe, Schlossberg talked about his contributions, Kennedy’s vision for it, and what visitors should expect to see. Can you explain the idea behind the software that people will use at the institute? In the conversations I had with Senator Kennedy a long time ago, in 2004, the thing that was so interesting to him about the Senate is that it was a deliberative body, 100 people representing all these people around the United States coming to a consensus about things that were really important.
