1JFK)Here is an incredible collection of hand signed and annotated presidential memorabilia given by President Kennedy to his dear friend, bother in law, and fellow bon vivant Peter Lawford. Peter Lawford was married to President Kennedy's sister Patricia. They married on April 24, 1954 in New York City. Lawford then became a member of the extended Kennedy Family. Lawford and JFK became best friends early on. Lawford offered JFK an entree into the powerful Hollywood world of the beautiful people. JFK loved the heady life of that world, and the perks that came with it. He also garnered considerable financial and political support from the Hollywood crowd. JFK offered Lawford a seat at the table of the arguably most powerful man in the world. The relationship was a good one. Lawford campaigned constantly during all of JFK's political campaigns, doing all he could do to sway the Hollywood crowd into backing Kennedy. JFK, Lawford, Jacqueline Kennedy and Patricia Lawford were best friends, and constant companions. Jacqueline Kennedy remained very close to Lawford even after the assassination of JFK and subsequent divorce of Lawford and Patricia in 1966.

Included in this collection are many remarkable writings and comments from JFK to Lawford. Many of them are on books from JFK's private library. Many more are on books that JFK personally wrote. There are wonderful signed photos and pieces of inaugural memorabilia. Many of the comments give an extremely interesting insight into the real JFK, and his opinions of the men who helped shape his political manifestoes.
