JFK Jr. In His Own Words

On the Kennedy family: “It’s hard for me to talk about a legacy or a mystique. It’s my family. It’s my mother. It’s my sister. It’s my father. We’re a family like any other. We look out for one another. The fact that there have been difficulties and hardships, or obstacles, makes us closer. Vogue, 1993

JFK Jr. - A Simple Man
by David Lawrence Dewey ©All Rights Reserved, 1999

JFK Jr. was a simple man. You can see this from his life experiences. Working as an attorney in the Juvenile Rights Clinic in Brooklyn, he learned the struggles first hand of lower income Americans. He also studied in a foreign country, India, a country that taught him much about human suffering. Instead of living in his Mother's old Fifth Avenue apartment after her passing, he and Carolyn chose to live in Brooklyn with the people. It was here that he was truly admired and loved for just being a simple man. Everyone in the area loved John John and his wife Carolyn. As one resident in the area said, "They were not stuck up, just simple nice people to chat with, who truly cared about others." And evidently both did with many in the area. They were concerned about their neighbors problems and helped with many community projects in the area they lived.

I had the great privilege of not only hearing JFK speak at the Democrat Convention in 1988, but in meeting and speaking with him for several minutes. He was a remarkable young man. The most important sincere quality I detected was that he was not only truly listening to what I was talking to him about, but cared about what I was sharing with him. I knew this because he asked questions, wanting to know more about what were were talking about. How many sincere politicians today do you know that ask you questions to find out more about a problem. I will remember that afternoon the rest of my life. Not because he was JFK Jr. the famous son of our President, but because of who he was. A simple man that cared deeply about the rest of us.

Many Americans including this one, had hoped that JFK Jr. would someday run for President. He would have been one of the greatest Presidents, just like his father. Not because he had the Kennedy name, not because he had the Kennedy wealth, but who had become, JFK Jr., a simple man just like us all. Through his own suffering and pain he had learned a very important character, truly knowing about human suffering and most importantly, caring, truly caring to correct that which was wrong. I wish more politicians would follow his example.

I hope that the search and recovery teams find the wreckage to show what caused the accident and that it was an accident at that. It has always bothered me of his father's assassination and the many unanswered questions that were never answered concerning a possible conspiracy. I've wondered whether his mother, before her death, ever told him and his sister Caroline the truth concerning their father's death, if there was another truth? And if so, by knowing this truth, would this put them in danger? It was known recently that John was possibly considering entering politics, even possibly running for Senator from New York. I know one thing, I'm sure there are those that would not want another Kennedy in the White House. Especially the likes of John with the legacy he would bring. He definitely would have been elected President if he ran. This is why in my opinion, it is so very important to analyze the wreckage and find the cause of the accident. It is hard for me to understand why a plane all of a sudden would suddenly start dropping within 5 seconds as shown on recent radar findings at over 5,000 feet per second. In talking with aviation experts, they have suggested that is suspect of an explosion. Hopefully, we will find the truth here since they have recovered the wreckage. I am not trying to suggest some sort of a conspiracy, but here are a few questionable details.

Aviation experts I have talked with state that small debris like baggage ID labels, heavy baggage, a landing gear,( there were two pieces found, both the wheel and the metal strut, the metal wheel strut which was found by itself does not float, it was found on the beach), and pieces of carpet do not start washing shore. Here's why. If these things went down with the plane, they don't float to the surface. This type debris floats ashore or lands on the beach from the air because it was released in mid-air. This is similar to all the personal debris that floated ashore and fell to the ground with the TWA crash a few years ago.

In addition, a small plane like JFK Jr's can coast if there is not major weather factors like storms,etc., up to 10-15 miles even without the engine running. They were only 7-9 miles from shore when the plane dived. JFK Jr. would have certainly seen the lights even with a little haze. There was no storms that night in the area, only a little haze. The most important question? What caused the plane all of a sudden to start nose diving at 90 -100 ft. per second. Before we close the door on anything, let us look at all the facts first. This could have been a very simple minor engine explosion without any hint of a conspiracy. That is what we should find out, the truth, whatever it could be. If we are afraid of what the truth could in any matter, it is really a matter of us being afraid of not wanting to deal with the truth. It will be interesting to learn the results of these findings? If we ever do.
