A Red Coat


O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, Illinois, March 1963. I had seen the photos Dad took when JFK spoke at the O'Hare dedication, but I only now saw this clip among our home movies. That means Mom likely went to the event because she was the one who usually did the filming.

It wasn't Jackie.

PS I'm sure he made plenty of trips there. Jack had to pay off his debts.

I think that's Mrs. Daley wearing the red coat.

Here's a visit that he canceled. This story used (with my permission) some of the photos from that post.

That was my thought, too.

PS The Army-Navy Game always takes place in Philadelphia because it's roughly halfway between Annapolis and West Point.

The game at Soldier field may have been a commemoration.
