John and Caroline page 5 by ric gustafson
Carolyn Bessette knew one day she would meet the head of the Kennedy family. One day in September at sundown, Ethel's children, spouses and their children gathered around a table in Ethel's dining room. All of the Kennedy's at the table were smartly dressed. At the head of the table, one chair was empty.
All of a sudden, everyone stood up. 66 year old Ethel Kennedy walked in. She sat down. After a Catholic blessing, servants brought in Kennedy favorites.
Dinner started that night with Cape Cod Clam Chowder. Then roast beef, potato salad, asparagus, cranberry nut bread and plenty of french fries. A dessert favorite of the Kennedy's was key lime pie.
John was sitting at the end of the table. At one point, Ethel noticed someone sitting by John she did not know. John introduced Carolyn Bessette to Ethel Kennedy.
