Exhibit Stirs JFK Memories
Page 3
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Fresh memories of President John F. Kennedy will be stirred this month by a traveling exhibit of his papers and momentos.
The late president's personal secretary, Mrs. Evelyn Lincoln, has been busily gathering together nostalgic items for the exhibit which opens in New York, May 26.
Mrs. Kennedy is expected to attend a reception May 25 launching the display.
SOME OF the best photographs of the President, his favorite ship models and the cocoanut on which he scribbled an SOS when his PT-109 boat was rammed by a Japanese destroyer are included. There also are notes Kennedy made during the Cuban missile crisis, a draft of his inaugural address and letters he wrote as a child.
The exhibit will be taken to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati in June; St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and Chicago in July; Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Boston and Charleston, W.Va., in August; Atlanta, Miami, Birmingham, New Orleans and Houston in
Advertising Women Elect New Officers

September; and San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco in October.
An exhibit of sorts is already on display in Mrs. Lincoln's office next to the White House. An eyecatcher is the extra rocking chair that used to be in her office in the west wing of the White House.
Mrs. Lincoln has been recording verbal interviews with Fred Holburn, a former Kennedy aide. The taped interviews are for the memorial library. At first she found it difficult to talk about those happier days—now she racks her brain for little anecdotes she knows will delight future generations.
THE PICTURES ON the walls of Mrs. Lincoln's office are reminders of happier days. There is one of Kennedy in a carefree moment walking on the sand at Cape Cod. It shows him wearing slacks and T-shirt and carrying a sports jacket. Another shows him on the stoop outside his office with John John by his side. In another picture Caroline Kennedy has her arm around her father as they watched a performance by the Scottish Black Watch Regiment on the south lawn.
The mail still is heavy. There are many requests for pictures. "I think the American people like to have a hero," said Mrs. Lincoln, "and Kennedy had appeal, especially for teen-agers."
She is frequently asked whether she will write a book about her boss. So far she's been saying no. But she thinks hat a chapter should be added to Kennedy's book "Profiles in Courage"—about him.
