A clarification of some tags:
Childhood - Dates from the persons' birth until around the marriage of their first spouse. It tends to end in the mid 40's to the mid 50's.
Pre-Camelot - Implies a period between any of the persons' in the pictures marriage date and officially ends on Election Day of 1960.
Quotes - Rather than a 'standard' quote from a Kennedy, it's usually a story of an incident often in their words.
Authors misc - My own personal notes that may or may not relate to the subject matter at hand.
_____ Family - It branches off to a specific thread of the Kennedy clan not immediately the children of Joseph P. Kennedy and Rose Fitzgerald.
1st Generation - Refers to the likes of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. and other parents of that generation or even earlier, like Jack's grandfather, John Fitzgerald.

A Gemini, John F Kennedy, otherwise known as Jack, was the first president of the USA to be born in the 20th century. He attended many private schools including Choate, the famous prep school, when he was young. He majored in Political Science from Harvard University. After his graduation in 1940, he served as the Navy Commander, in the Pacific during World War Two. Inspired by his father he entered politics in 1946 and was elected as a Democrat to the US House of Representatives. Following this victory, he paved his way to the Senate in 1952. In 1960, at forty three years of age, JFK won the presidential nomination election and became the youngest ever president to be elected to office. He was also the first Roman Catholic leader of the country. He married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, a wealthy socialite and photographer, on September 12,1953 in New Port, Rhode Island at St.Mary’s Roman Catholic Church. He sired three children; Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. and Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, who survived for just two days after his birth.
