STEVE KOSTANECKI:

I will never forget when my Father, took me and my brothers Daniel age 11, Ken age 9, and me age 8 to see then Senator John Fritzgerald Kennedy in the fall of 1960, at Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck Mich, He was running for President an made a campaign stop there. In the field in front of the stands was a platform, decorated in flag banners and Kennedy for president posters. We were all sitting about 10 rows away when Kennedys motorcade came in. The electricity was like I would never feel again till this day, I am now 55. The Gov of Mich was there at JFK s side while JFK gave his speech, it was short but electrifying, A locomotive on the tracks behind the stadium, slowed and blew his blast horn in a unorthidox way to signal Kennedy in appreciation, it was surrealistic in the glowing stadium lights. Daniel shook JFK,s hand right next to me!!
