About John F. Kennedy Jr. in brief
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. was a son of the 35th President of the United States John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. He was a younger brother of Caroline Kennedy. Three days after his father was assassinated, he rendered a final salute during the funeral procession on his third birthday. He later became a popular social figure in Manhattan. In 1995, he launched George magazine, using his political and celebrity status to publicize it. He died in a plane crash in 1999 at the age of 38. He lived in the White House during the first three years of his life and remained in the public spotlight as a young adult. His putative nickname, \”John-John\”, came from a reporter who misheard JFK calling him \”John\” twice in quick succession; the name was not used by his family. He accompanied his mother on a pioneering trip to Africa, where he rescued his mother while she was on a course. In 1976, he and his cousin visited Guatemala, helping with heavy building work and distributing food and water to earthquake victims. He is said to have considered his stepfather Aristotle Onassis “a joke”; he considered him “a jokester” and a “fool” He is survived by his wife, Caroline, and two children, Caroline and John Jr. Kennedy, and a brother, Patrick, who died two days after he was born in 1963. In 1971, Kennedy returned to the White house with his mother and sister for the first time since the assassination. After graduating from Phillips Academy in Massachusetts, he accompanied his cousin on a trip to Guatemala, which had gotten lost for two days without food or water, and won points for leadership.
He also visited his cousin and his aunt in South Africa, and helped with heavy work at Rabinal in Guatemala, where they dressed in Guatemalan clothes and ate what the local priest said they ate. In 1996, he became a lawyer and worked as a New York City assistant district attorney for almost four years. His father took office exactly eight weeks after John J. Kennedy was elected president. His parents had a stillborn daughter named Arabella four years before John Jr.’s birth. In 1967, his mother took him and Caroline on a six-week trip to Ireland, where she met President Éamon de Valera and visited the Kennedy ancestral home in Dunganstown. After Robert Kennedy was assassinated in 1968, Jackie took her children out of the U.S. saying: \”If they’re killing Kennedys, then my children are targets .. I want to get out of this country… I want the family to be safe. ” In 1975, Jacqueline was able to renegotiate the will, and acquired USD 20 million for herself and her children. When Onassis died in 1975, he left Kennedy USD 25,000, though Jacqueline had let him let him go under the terms of his will. The family went to live on his private island of Skorpios, and the same year, she married Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle.
