"We tend to forget that at that time she was only 34 years old . When JFK took Office she was age 31.....

....He (private banker) also mentioned that she always sent him a personal note after every meeting they had.."


This is what I've thought so often. She personified a good upbringing and why steady parenting and discipline and training in manners and politeness is so important. She showed that in raising Caroline and John, and said this:
"If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do well matters very much."
Her dignity and grace shows thru in her daughter, who has lost all her immediate family members under the microscopic lens of cameras around the world.
