1961

A few monumental events occurred:

In 1961, Mr. JFK began his presidency in the White House. 


In 1961, Dear Ernest Hemingway, very sadly, decided to leave us.. when I mentioned I have only a few favorites, he is one of them - at the top of the list. (Jackie O is a fav as well, of course)

A book I highly recommend, one that was hard to put down. 


Also in 1961, the ground breaking starlet Ms. Josephine Baker was awarded the Legion of Honor for helping France out during WWII.
