Christopher Andersen Quote

Concord Academy. Since leaving home, John’s sister had decided that she, too, wished to take to the skies. People always think of John running up to welcome his father’s helicopter, Pierre Salinger said. They forget Caroline was on the White House lawn waiting for Daddy, too. Moreover, JFK’s campaign plane was named after her—something she took considerable pride in as a little girl. Caroline had been flying for years before John was even born, George Plimpton said. Flying was second nature to her, and it made perfect sense that she’d want to give it a try. As enthusiastic as John was about aviation, it was their stepbrother who took them up in planes
