In the spring of 1964, less than six months after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. began conducting more than eight hours of interviews with Kennedy’s widow, Jacqueline. At her request, the transcripts and tapes were sealed from the public. Now her daughter, Caroline, is releasing the interviews in a new book, Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy, to be published on Sept. 14.  Click HERE to read the full article.

On Saturday, June 18th, Jane Mitchell, on-air reporter/producer of Channel 4 San Diego will host a book signing/fundraiser for the Cape Cod Baseball League at the JFK Museum at 12:00pm.

Jane’s book, One on One − My Journey with Hall of Famers, Fan Favorites and Rising Stars with a Foreword by Dick Enberg and Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, will be the topic of her talk. Jane is excited to help raise some much needed funds for the CCBL and meet some of this season’s players as she shares words of encouragement from some of the nine – yes 9 -players presently on the San Diego Padres who played in the CCBL! They are: Chase Headley, Aaron Harang, Brad Hawpe, Nick Hundley, Wade Leblanc, Cory Luebke, Tim Stauffer, Joe Thatcher and Mark Loretta. Alumni: Anthony Gwynn Jr., Chris Young, Geoff Blum and Jerry Hairston. Many of them have in fact been the subject of Jane’s television show.

Jane will speak about her experiences in “telling the good sports story” with the likes of Ted Williams, Adrian Gonzalez, Dave Roberts and Larry Lucchino. Besides the San Diego Padres connection to the CCBL, Jane was also the last person to interview Ted Williams! Her tv show, One on One with Jane Mitchell featuring Ted Williams won Jane an Emmy. During the book signing fundraiser, Jane’s never seen on the East Coast episode of Ted Williams will be available for viewing.

Throughout the years, Jane Mitchell’s work in San Diego has had many Boston ties. Her close personal friend, San Diego Padre and Hall of Famer, Tony Gwynn saw his own son, Anthony Jr. play for the Brewster Whitecaps in 2002. Jane documents and acknowledges the Cape Cod Baseball League in her book as part of Anthony’s journey. In his role as head baseball coach for San Diego State University, Tony Gwynn has seen the benefits of and has high respect for the CCBL. This summer will see one of his players, Kris Bryant play for the Chatham Anglers! Jane will also be documenting her trip to Boston and Cape Cod on behalf of Channel 4 San Diego and will certainly make that video available to the league for their website.

Joe Gargan’s memories of the 1960 presidential campaign of his first cousin John Fitzgerald Kennedy are priceless and rare. So few people from that Camelot era are still with us. And what a privilege it was for those of us gathered at the JFK Hyannis Museum Friday night to be regaled by Gargan’s remembrances.

Some 100 of us were on hand to help the JFK Museum foundation mark the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s election as president in 1960. The reception marked the opening of a new exhibit at the Main Street facility that houses priceless memories of President Kennedy’s and his family’s love of Cape Cod.

“Over the last 17 years those of us at the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum have had the great privilege of getting to know Senator Kennedy, who was an ardent supporter of our museum.

“Senator Kennedy supported the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum from the very beginning and was a frequent visitor. His help and belief in the museum contributed greatly to the success it is today.

“All of us at the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum express our deep sadness on the passing of Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Our hearts go out to Mrs. Kennedy, the Senator’s children and all members of the Kennedy family.

“We will miss him greatly. He was much more than our esteemed Senator; he was our neighbor and friend.”
