2006/3/3 Weekend Blog WalkWeekend Blog Walk, Week VI This week's topic: If you could meet anyone in the world, from the past or present (they can be dead or alive), who would it be and why? What would you say to them? If you want to take this topic a step further, talk about what you would do with this person if you had the chance to spend the day with them.
 Who wouldnt want to spend the day with the classiest woman in the world? How wonderful would it be to spend time with a wonderful mother, wife, and former first lady?
  She is the epitomy of how I think a woman should handle herself in public and private...................So I guess I would ask her (over a glass of wine) how she raised her children so privately , how she held her head high when her husband had an alleged affair, and how do you look beautiful & sad at the same time? After those questions were answered I would of course have to ask her what it was like to be married to a Kennedy!
 Is anyone seeing the common ground here? Kennedy???? That is my daughter's name. I was sitting in the hospital waiting for my name to be called to have an ultra sound when the t.v flashed the tragedy about John Jr & his wife. I had been tossing the name Kennedy around for awhile and I decided right then and there that I was having a girl that would sport the classiest name in the world.
   I cried like a baby when she died because two children lost a mother and America lost a wonderful addition to our society and a true icon for little girls to look up to.
Jacqueline Bouvier KennedyJacqueline Bouvier was born on Long Island, New York, in 1929. Her parents divorced and her mother remarried to Hugh Auchincloss, a very wealthy man. Jacqueline graduated from George Washington University with a degree in French literature.
She went to work for a newspaper, taking pictures and asking people questions. During this time, she met John F. Kennedy, a young senator from Massachusetts. They were married September 12, 1953, in Rhode Island. A crowd of 3,000 people waited outside the church to see the newlyweds.
In 1957, the Kennedys had a daughter, Caroline. In 1960, John Kennedy announced he would run for President. Their son, John, was born in 1960 soon after the election. Mrs. Kennedy thought that raising her children was the most important job she had and she was careful to keep them out of the limelight.
She began the White House Historical Association and was responsible for making the White House into a living museum, with fine art. She also became famous for her sense of fashion. She traveled with the President to other countries and became popular worldwide.
On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy was killed and "Jackie" became a widow at 34 years of age. She worked on the John Kennedy Library.
In 1968, she married Aristotle Onassis, a Greek shipping magnate. After he died in 1975, she began to work for a publisher in New York as a book editor. No other first lady had ever taken a full-time job after leaving the White House.
In 1994, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis died at her home in New York City, with her family, friends and the things she loved around her. She died of lymphoma, a type of cancer. She was buried beside John F. Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery.
At her funeral, her son, John Kennedy Jr. said he and his sister had decided on three things that shaped their mother's life: love of words, love of family and love of adventure. She was, and still is, one of the most famous First Ladies in our history.
