John F. Kennedy: A Rare Signed Original Painting by the 35th U.S. President. Now that I finished reading the book by Christoper Fulton, "The Inheritance,"  I was interested in learning more about his secretary. The one that took all of JFK's stuff from the White House because Lyndon Johnson was such a jerk. The stuff she took never was classified. In the book she mentions that when JFK and Jackie were at Palm Beach Florida for the Holidays one year Jackie gave John the gift of paints and he would sit by the pool and paint. There is one of his paintings on the internet. I found that fascinating that he was a painter, even just a part time one, that didn't paint much. The book I'm reading is "My Twelve Years with John F. Kennedy" by Evelyn Lincoln (Author) Copyright 1965. I like books that were from the time period they were talking about. Sometimes over time things are forgotten, or misrepresented by somebody that didn't actually live back then.and just puts their own spin on things that have nothing to do with what really happened.
