Joseph McBride Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Yes, Jean Kennedy Smith made a difference. It was even more of an achievement considering the hurdles she faced. When I went to the big 1960 JFK rally seen in PRIMARY, the woman I was with, Dora Krueger, was an old friend of the Kennedy family who knew them in Europe during the 1930s. She told me Eunice once told her she wanted to run for president but that girls in the Kennedy family weren’t allowed to consider careers in politics. The girls were sent to Catholic schools while the boys went to private WASPish prep schools in preparation for political careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Eunice Kennedy Shriver was a tremendous individual. As Bill Clinton once said, the Shrivers set the bar too high. He should know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
