Jackie Bouvier Kennedy’s father helped cut the ribbon at the opening of the George Washington Bridge. I also recall her and JFK, he as a child was a resident of Riverdale in the Bronx until the stock market crash, 1929, his father wanted to invest in the “talkies” emerging in NYC, had a friendly disagreement over preservation, she a proponent, JFK more the politician, whom usually have some new plan for development on their table. Considering her popularity, she may have had as much influence as the old Penn Station, the PAL shipped my brother and I out of to a dairy farm for a couple of weeks in the late 1950s, from out of the South Bronx projects.
