A NOTE FROM PRODUCER KEVIN MCCANN: On this day, November 22, I wish to pay tribute to the late John F. Kennedy and remember his passing. I am currently staying in Brookline, Boston, his birthplace and neighbourhood. This week, I had the pleasure of hearing his Grand-nephew Congressman Joe Kennedy speaking at the American-Ireland Fund Gala. Let us remember some of the words that JFK spoke: A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers.” The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality. (Dante) And when asked what was the highlight of his trip to Ireland in 1963, the last year of his life, this great Irish American hero replied: “The highlight? That was the Memorial Service at Arbour Hill (The burial place of 14 of the executed leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising.) John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917 - 1963) May his spirit continue to inspire us.
