“A Man does what he must-in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures-and that is the basis of all human morality.”~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy“On August I st 1943, at 2.30am. PT boat 109, commanded by Lieutenant JFK was sliced in half and sunk by a Japanese destroyer. Kennedy, already suffering from a bad back was slammed to the floor, which severely injured his spine. In spite of his injury, Kennedy located 12 survivors. Next morning with Kennedy firmly grasping his wounded engineer’s life belt between his teeth, the two swam to safety at a nearby island. Ever since then, the future President suffered from severe back pain and the rocking chair became an essential comfort to him.”~ Jacques Lowe This chair was first recommended by his physician, Dr. Janet Trewell, in 1955. He bought this sturdy Appalachian oak rocking chair from PP Chair Company and it was his constant companion throughout his short life.
