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.
14th May 1965: Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy stands with her daughter, Caroline, her son, John F. Kennedy Jr. (center), and her nephew, Anthony Radziwill, outside Buckingham Palace as they watch the changing of the guard ceremony, London, England.
Behind The Scenes: Jackie is escorted by her father-in-law, Hugh Auchincloss, in St. Mary’s Church (Newport, Rhode Island) as she’s about to walk down the aisle to marry Senator John F. Kennedy. She was devastated to hear that her father, John Vernou Bouvier III, was unable to attend the ceremony at the last minute, and wasn’t able to walk her down at her wedding. (September 1953)
Senator Jack Kennedy comforts Jackie’s little sister, Janet Auchincloss, during the reception of his wedding to Ms. Bouvier. Janet was a little fussy throughout the entire ceremony due to her excitement; she particularly adored Jack.

Jackie is pictured here with her sister, Lee Bouvier Radziwill, in Italy (1962).
A week before her death Alberto Arroyo asked her out of all of her travels which country she liked the best.
She thought for a second then answered simply, “What’s wrong with America?”
