Lot 35
Kennedy, John F. Dinner program for "The All New England Salute Dinner to John F. Kennedy…Commonwealth Armory, Boston, Mass. October 19, 1963," signed on the cover in blue ink, 8½ x 11 in. There are 14 pages of pictures of the President meeting world leaders and taking part in various activities; the remainder of the program, which is half an inch thick, is jammed with ads from seemingly every company in New England. Very good; slight soiling to covers. A handwritten note from Helen Wilkes describes how she reached out that night as Kennedy came down the aisle; she handed him this program and he quickly signed it. A little over a month after the dinner, and fifty years ago to the month from this sale, the President was dead. Estimated Value $800 - 1,000
