Berlin--Kennedy Remembered


Just days after this blog covered the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, I again found myself in the presence of a Berlin angle story.

Visiting Boston's John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, I chanced upon a slab of the Wall.  Small but well preserved.  This was part of as larger exhibit on JFK's foreign and domestic policies.

The Museum equally had a film of JFK's  June 1963 visit to West Berlin and his immortal speech to over a million Berliners   "Ich bin ein Berliner!"
