Thank you, Dick, and thank you Doris.īefore going any further, I want to thank also the generous sponsors of our Distinguished American Speakers Program - Boston Capital, the Corcoran Jennison Companies, and Raytheon, as well as the institutions that make all our Kennedy Library forums possible. And we honor our speaker, Richard Goodwin, as a Kennedy Library Distinguished American, and he honors us with his presence. This afternoon we are in for a treat, thanks to a leading member of President Kennedy’s inner circle and a leading historian of that time - who marvelously happen to be married to each other! - we’re going to take you back to the days of the New Frontier and all that followed during the next four decades. I think, in fact, just about now the kickoff is taking place so this is … your choice is brilliant and I want to congratulate you all on coming to the right place. I’m John Shattuck, the CEO of the Kennedy Library Foundation, and on behalf of our Board of Directors, a number of whom are here, and Tom Putnam, our Library Director, and - I’m just delighted that all of you have made such a wise choice on this, this super football afternoon.
