Early life
Born Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in Southampton, New York, she was the daughter of John Vernou Bouvier III, a Wall Street stock broker, and his wife Janet Norton Lee. She had a younger sister, Caroline Lee Bouvier, born in 1933, and later known as Lee Radziwill.
Jacqueline Bouvier was of mostly Irish, Scottish, and English descent; her French paternal ancestry is distant, with her last French ancestor being Michel Bouvier, a Philadelphia-based cabinetmaker, merchant and real estate speculator who was her great-great–grandfather and a contemporary of Joseph Bonaparte and Stephen Girard. Both sides of her family made exaggerations about their heritage, with the Bouviers claiming descent from French nobility and the Lees declaring they were part of the "Virginia Lees."[1]
She spent her early years between New York City and East Hampton, New York at the Bouvier family estate "Lasata". At a very early age she became an accomplished equestrienne,[citation needed] a sport that would remain a lifelong passion. As a child, she also enjoyed drawing, reading and lacrosse. This idyllic[citation needed] childhood came to an end when her parents divorced in 1940.
Her father never remarried, but her mother married second husband Standard Oil heir Hugh D. Auchincloss, Jr. in 1942, and they had two children, Janet and James Auchincloss. Jacqueline and her sister Lee then lived with their mother's new family, dividing their time at their stepfather's two vast estates, "Merrywood", in McLean, Virginia, and "Hammersmith Farm," in Newport, Rhode Island. They remained close to their father, and visited him often in New York City, where he lived.
Education, introduction to society, and first job
She was educated at selective schools such as the Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland (1942–1944) and Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut (1944–1947). When she made her society debut in 1947, Hearst columnist Cholly Knickerbocker dubbed Jacqueline "Debutante of the Year".
She spent her first two years of college at Vassar in Poughkeepsie, New York, and spent her junior year (1949–1950) in France at the University of Grenoble and the Sorbonne in a program through Smith College. Upon returning home to the United States, she transferred to The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., graduating in 1951 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French Literature.[2] Her college graduation coincided with younger sister Lee's graduation from high school, and the two sisters spent the summer of 1951 on a trip through Europe. This trip was the subject of Kennedy's only autobiographical book, One Special Summer, which is also the only one of her publications to feature her drawings.[3]
On leave from college, she was hired as the "Inquiring Photographer" for The Washington Times-Herald where her name headed the column. Her job was to ask witty questions of people she met in Washington, D.C. The questions and amusing responses would then appear alongside the interviewee's photograph in the newspaper. She was hired at a weekly salary of $42.50, but later raised when she was promoted to "Inquiring Camera Girl".
During that period she was briefly engaged to a young stock broker, John Husted, but the engagement was called off after three months.
Kennedy marriage and family
Jacqueline Kennedy at Hammersmith Farm in Newport, Rhode Island on the day of her wedding in 1953.Jacqueline Bouvier and then-Senator John Kennedy were in the same social circle and often attended the same functions. It was at a dinner party organized by mutual friends, journalist Charles Bartlett and his wife Martha Buck Bartlett, that they were formally introduced in May 1952. Kennedy was then busy running for a seat at the United States Senate. They began dating sporadically and after he was elected senator in November of the same year, the relationship grew more serious and eventually led to a proposal. Their engagement was officially announced on June 25, 1953. [4]
They were married on September 12, 1953, at St. Mary's Church in Newport, Rhode Island. The wedding was performed by Archbishop Richard Cushing. The wedding was considered the social event of the season with an estimated 700 guests at the ceremony and 900 at the lavish reception that followed at Hammersmith Farm.[citation needed]
The wedding cake was created by Plourde's Bakery in Fall River, Massachusetts.[5]
Her wedding dress was created by designer Ann Lowe of New York City.[6] The dress is now housed in the Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts.
Following a honeymoon in Acapulco, Mexico, the couple settled in McLean, Virginia. Behind all the glamour, however, not all was easy. Jacqueline found it hard to adjust to the demands of political life and the pressure put on her by the Kennedy family.[citation needed] Her husband had serious health issues, suffering from Addison's Disease, and from chronic and debilitating back pain from a wartime injury. He underwent two spinal surgeries which proved almost fatal due to complications. While he was recovering from the surgeries, Jacqueline encouraged him to write a book, Profiles in Courage, which is about several U.S. senators who risked their careers to fight for the things in which they believed. The book was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1957.
Jacqueline suffered a miscarriage in 1955 and gave birth to a stillborn baby girl in 1956.
The Kennedys sold their estate, Hickory Hill to Robert and Ethel Kennedy and moved to a townhouse on N Street in Georgetown. Jacqueline successfully gave birth to a second daughter, Caroline, in 1957, and a son, John, in 1960, both via Caesarian section.

Candidate's wife
Jacqueline Kennedy campaigning alongside her husband in Appleton, Wisconsin, in March 1960On January 2, 1960, Kennedy announced his candidacy for President of the United States, and began campaigning around the country. Mrs. Kennedy took an active role in the campaign, even speaking to grocery store shoppers over the PA system in one town. In Appleton, Wisconsin, she signed autographs for junior high school students, commenting that her signature would be more legible than John's.[citation needed] Campaigning in West Virginia hit her the hardest, as she had not witnessed that degree of poverty before.[citation needed] Later, in the White House, when the need for new glassware came up, Jackie suggested that Morgantown Glassware from the impoverished state supply it.[citation needed]
Shortly after Kennedy announced his presidential run, Jacqueline learned that she was pregnant and, due to previous problem pregnancies, her doctor instructed her to stay at home. From Georgetown, Jacqueline helped her husband by answering thousands of campaign letters, taping TV commercials, giving interviews both televised and printed and by writing a weekly newspaper column, Campaign Wife, which was distributed across the country. She was assisted by her personal secretary, Mary Barelli Gallagher.[7]

Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson having just descended White House Grand Staircase on their way to a dinner with the French cultural minister, April 1962. Mrs. Kennedy wears a gown designed by Oleg Cassini.[8]In the general election on November 8, 1960, Kennedy narrowly beat Republican Richard Nixon in the 1960 presidential election. Two weeks later, Jacqueline gave birth to son John Jr. by Caesarean delivery. When Kennedy was sworn in as president on January 20, 1961, Jacqueline became, at age 31, one of the youngest First Ladies in history, just behind Frances Folsom Cleveland and Julia Tyler.
Mrs. Kennedy ranks among the most popular of First Ladies.[citation needed] She was a stark contrast from her recent predecessors, who were all much older. She was not only young and attractive, but intelligent and cultivated, and possessed an innate sense of style and elegance. Though she was sometimes criticized for her aloofness, expensive tastes, and European ways, the American public quickly took to her, and made her its idol.[citation needed]
Mary Barelli Gallagher was Mrs. Kennedy's personal secretary for 11 years until 1964. She wrote a book, a personal memoir of her years with Jackie Kennedy, "My life with Jacqueline Kennedy." Mary Barelli Gallagher shows a more everyday mother/wife side of Mrs. Kennedy. Gallagher drew a bath for the President himself, sat John Jr. as a toddler down in her own kitchen with Jackie during a visit and gave him a crust of Italian bread to chew on. She procured Jackie's cigarettes—Newports, a menthol brand, that incidentally shared a name with the city of the Kennedy-Bouvier wedding. Gallagher regreted her loss of contact with Jackie Kennedy after all their years together. But Jackie had to move on, shedding her past and those in it to enter new chapters of her life as she created them.
Like any First Lady, she was forced into the public spotlight, with everything in her life under scrutiny. While she did not mind giving interviews or being photographed, she was worried about the effect such treatment might have on her children.[citation needed] Mrs. Kennedy was determined to protect them from the press and give them a normal childhood.[citation needed]
Social success
Mrs. Kennedy planned numerous social events that brought the First Couple into the nation's cultural spotlight.[citation needed] She invited artists, writers, scientists, poets, and musicians to mingle with politicians, diplomats, and statesmen. She spoke fluent French.[citation needed] Her appreciation for art, music, and culture marked a new chapter in American history.[citation needed] Jackie's skill at entertaining gave White House events the reputation of being magical.[citation needed]
The President and Mrs. Kennedy at La Morita, Venezuela, on December 16, 1961For instance, when she orchestrated a dinner at Mount Vernon in honor of Pakistan's President Ayub Khan, whom President Kennedy wanted to honor for his role in supporting the U.S. in a recent crisis, she banished large U-shaped dining tables, replacing them with smaller round tables that seated eight. Her social graces were legendary,[citation needed] as can be noted from the way she communicated with Charles De Gaulle in Paris and Nikita Khruschev in Vienna. The President's summit in Vienna turned out to be a disaster, but the Premier's enjoyment of Mrs. Kennedy's company was subsequently deemed one of the few positive outcomes. When Soviet Premier Khrushchev was asked to shake President Kennedy's hand for a photo, the Communist leader said, "I'd like to shake her hand first."[9]
Due in part to her French ancestry and her educational background, Jacqueline had always felt a bond with France.[citation needed] This was a love that would later be reflected in many aspects of her life, such as the menus she chose for White House state dinners and her taste in clothing and love of ballet.[citation needed] She chose French interior designer Stéphane Boudin of Maison Jansen to consult on the White House Restoration and decoration of the private family quarters on the second and third floors of the Executive Mansion. Mrs. Kennedy recruited a Vietnamese-born French chef to become White House chef.
White House restoration
The White House Blue Room as redecorated by Stéphane Boudin in 1962. Boudin chose the period of the Madison administration, returning much of the original French Empire style furniture.The restoration of the White House was Jacqueline Kennedy's first major project. She was dismayed during her pre-inauguration tour of the White House to find little of historic significance in the house. The rooms were furnished with undistinguished pieces that she felt lacked a sense of history. Her first efforts, begun her first day in residence (with the help of society decorator Sister Parish), were to make the family quarters attractive and suitable for family life and included the addition of a kitchen on the family floor and rooms for her children. Upon almost immediately exhausting the funds appropriated for this effort, she established a fine arts committee to oversee and fund the restoration process; she also asked early American furniture expert Henry du Pont to consult.
Her skillful management of this project was hardly noted at the time,[citation needed] except in terms of gossipy shock[citation needed] at repeated repainting of a room, or the high cost of the antique Zuber wallpaper panels installed in the family dining room ($12,000 in donated funds), but later accounts have noted that she managed the conflicting agendas of Parish, du Pont, and Boudin with seamless success;[citation needed] she initiated publication of the first White House guidebook, whose sales further funded the restoration; she initiated a Congressional bill establishing that White House furnishings would be the property of the Smithsonian Institution, rather than available to departing ex-presidents to claim as their own; and she wrote personal requests to those who owned pieces of historical interest that might be donated to the White House.
On February 14, 1962, Mrs. Kennedy took American television viewers on a tour of the White House with Charles Collingwood of CBS. In the tour she said, "I just feel that everything in the White House should be the best—the entertainment that's given here. If it's an American company you can help, I like to do that. If not—just as long as it's the best." Working with Rachel Lambert Mellon, Mrs. Kennedy oversaw redesign and replanting of the White House Rose Garden and the East Garden, which was renamed the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden after her husband's assassination. Her efforts on behalf of restoration and preservation at the White House left a lasting legacy in the form of the White House Historical Association, the Committee for the Preservation of the White House which was based upon her White House Furnishings Committee, a permanent Curator of the White House, the White House Endowment Trust, and the White House Acquisition Trust.
Broadcasting of the White House restoration greatly helped the Kennedy administration.[citation needed] The United States sought international support during the Cold War, which it achieved by affecting public opinion. Mrs. Kennedy's celebrity and high profile status made viewing the tour of the White house very desirable. The tour was taped and distributed to 106 countries since there was a great demand from the elite as well as people in power to see the film. In 1962 at the 14th Annual Emmy Awards (NBC, May 22), Bob Newhart emceed from the Hollywood Palladium; Johnny Carson from the New York Astor Hotel; and NBC newsman David Brinkley hosted at the Sheraton Park Hotel in Washington D.C. and took the spotlight as a special Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Trustees Award was given to Jacqueline Kennedy for her CBS-TV tour of the White House. Lady Bird Johnson accepted for the camera-shy First Lady. The actual Emmy statuette is on display in the Kennedy Library located near Boston, Massachusetts. Focus and admiration for Jacqueline Kennedy took negative attention away from her husband. By attracting worldwide public attention, the First Lady gained allies for the White House and international support for the Kennedy administration and its Cold War policies.[10]
Foreign trips
Before the Kennedys visited France, a television special was shot in French with Mrs. Kennedy on the White House lawn. When the Kennedys visited France, she'd already won the hearts of the French people, impressing the French public with her ability to speak French. At the conclusion of the visit, Time magazine seemed delighted with the First Lady and noted, "There was also that fellow who came with her." Even President Kennedy joked, "I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris — and I have enjoyed it!"
Pakistani President Ayub Khan and Jacqueline Kennedy with Sardar.At the urging of John Kenneth Galbraith, President Kennedy's ambassador to India, Mrs. Kennedy undertook a tour of India and Pakistan, taking her sister Lee Radziwill along with her, which was amply documented in photojournalism of the time as well as in Galbraith's journals and memoirs. At the time, Ambassador Galbraith noted a considerable disjunction between Mrs Kennedy's widely-noted concern with clothes and other frivolity and, on personal acquaintance, her considerable intellect.[citation needed]
While in Karachi she found some time to take a ride on a camel with her sister.[11] In Lahore, Pakistani President Ayub Khan presented Mrs. Kennedy with a much-photographed horse, Sardar (the Urdu term meaning 'leader'). Subsequently this gift was widely misattributed to the king of Saudi Arabia, including in the various recollections of the Kennedy White House years by President Kennedy's friend, journalist and editor Benjamin Bradlee. It has never become clear whether this general misattribution of the gift was carelessness or a deliberate effort to deflect attention from the USA's preference for Pakistan over India.[12] While at a reception for herself at Shalimar Gardens, Mrs. Kennedy told guests "all my life I've dreamed of coming to the Shalimar Gardens. It's even lovelier than I'd dreamed. I only wish my husband could be with me."[13] While in Lahore, she had a friendly chat with Iranian Empress Farah Pahlavi, whom many compared[citation needed] to Mrs. Kennedy.
Death of an infant son
Early in 1963, Jacqueline became pregnant again and curtailed her official duties. She spent most of the summer in the Kennedy family's Cape Cod compound at Hyannis Port, where she went into premature labor on August 7, 1963. She gave birth to a baby boy, named Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, via emergency Caesarian section at Otis Air Force Base, five and a half weeks early. Because his lungs were not fully developed, Patrick could not breathe and he was air-lifted to Boston Children's Hospital where he was placed in an oxygen-rich, pressurized room. He died of Hyaline Membrane disease (now known as Respiratory Distress Syndrome) on August 9, 1963.
Shortly after, Mrs. Kennedy received an invitation from her sister Lee to go on a Mediterranean cruise aboard Aristotle Onassis's luxury yacht. Despite concerns of the President's entourage over possible bad publicity it might bring, Jacqueline and her sister went on the cruise along with Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. and his wife. Upon her return, feeling reinvigorated, she made her first public appearance at the White House in the middle of November 1963 and decided to accompany her husband on an official pre re-election campaign visit to Texas.
Assassination and funeral of John F. Kennedy
Main article: John F. Kennedy assassination
John & Jacqueline Kennedy at Love Field in Dallas on the day of the assassinationOn November 21, 1963, the First Couple left the White House for a political trip to Texas, stopping in San Antonio, Houston, and Fort Worth that day. After a breakfast on November 22, President and Mrs. Kennedy flew from Carswell Air Force Base to Dallas's Love Field on Air Force One, accompanied by Texas Governor John Connally and his wife Nellie.[14] A 9.5-mile (15.3 km) motorcade was to take them to the Trademart where the President was scheduled to speak at a lunch. Jackie was seated next to her husband in the limousine, with the Governor and his wife seated in front of them, while Vice President Johnson and his wife followed in another car in the motorcade.

Jacqueline is in the back seat to the President's left.After the motorcade turned the corner onto Elm Street in Dealey Plaza, Jackie heard what she thought to be a motorcycle backfiring, and did not realize that it was a gunshot until she heard Governor Connally scream. Within 8.4 seconds, two more shots had rung out, and Jackie had leaned in toward her husband. The final shot struck the President in the head, and she screamed out, "They've killed my husband; Jack Jack!"[citation needed] Jackie then climbed out of the back seat and crawled over the trunk of the car for reasons that are debated. Her Secret Service agent, Clint Hill, ran to the car and leapt onto it, directing Mrs. Kennedy back to her seat. The car rushed to Dallas's Parkland Hospital, Jackie talking to her husband and cradling his head in her arms along the way.[15] When the limousine reached the hospital, Jackie initially refused to leave her husband, telling her Secret Service agent, who urged her to release the President from her arms, "you know he is dead".[citation needed] Only after his head was covered by agent Clint Hill's suit jacket did she relent and allow them to take her husband from her. Jackie ran alongside the stretcher that was transporting her husband into the hospital.
A few minutes into the President's treatment, Jackie, accompanied by the President's doctor, Admiral George Burkley, left her folding chair outside Trauma Room One and attempted to enter the operating room. Nurse Doris Nelson stopped her and attempted to bar the door to prevent Mrs. Kennedy from entering. Jackie persisted, and the President's doctor suggested that she take a sedative, which she refused. "I want to be there when he dies," she told Burkley. He eventually persuaded Nelson to grant her access to Trauma Room One, saying "It's her right, it's her prerogative".[16]
Later, when the casket arrived, Jackie took her wedding ring off and slipped it onto the President's finger. She told aide Ken O'Donnell, "Now I have nothing left."[17]

She continued to wear the infamous blood-stained pink suit as she stood next to Johnson on board the plane when he took the oath of office as President. She told Lady Bird Johnson, "I want them to see what they have done to Jack."[18]
Jacqueline Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, John Jr., Caroline, and Peter Lawford depart the U.S. Capitol after a lying-in-state ceremony for John Fitzgerald Kennedy, November 24, 1963Jacqueline took an active role in planning the details of the state funeral for her husband, based on Lincoln's state funeral, including the riderless horse and Lincoln catafalque on which his coffin rested in the Capitol rotunda.[citation needed] She led the nation in mourning as the President lay in repose at the White House and then lay in state in the Capitol. The funeral service was held for the President at St. Matthew's Cathedral. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery and Jackie was the first to light the eternal flame at the grave site, which had been created at her request. Lady Jean Campbell reported back to The London Evening Standard: "Jacqueline Kennedy has given the American people… one thing they have always lacked: Majesty."[19]
Following the assassination, she stepped back from official public view. She did, however, make a brief appearance in Washington to honor the Secret Service agent, Clint Hill, who had climbed aboard the limousine in Dallas to try to shield her and the President.
Life following the assassination
A week after the assassination, Mrs. Kennedy was interviewed in Hyannisport on November 29 by Theodore H. White of Life magazine. In that session, she compared the Kennedy years in the White House to King Arthur's mythical Camelot, commenting that the President often played the title song of Lerner and Loewe's musical recording before retiring to bed. She also quoted Queen Guinevere from the musical, trying to express how the loss felt. "Now he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man."
Jackie Kennedy's Official White House PortraitThe steadiness and courage of Jacqueline Kennedy during the assassination and funeral won her admiration around the world. Following his death, Jackie and her children remained in their quarters in the White House for two weeks, preparing to vacate. Johnson made several phone calls that were recorded via Dictabelt from the Oval Office to Jackie in the residence; the two also shared several letters and notes back and forth through messengers after the assassination. A letter from Jackie to Johnson is displayed in the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum where she thanks him for his kindness in allowing her and the children to remain in the White House with the promise to vacate soon. In the first call on December 2, 1963, she told him that she knew how rare it was to have something in a President's handwriting and that she now had more in his handwriting than she did in Jack's. The President encouraged her to come and visit with him to spend time talking.
After spending the winter of 1964 in Averell Harriman's home in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C., before purchasing her own home on another block of the same street, Jackie decided to purchase an apartment at 1040 Fifth Avenue in New York in the hope of having more privacy for her children. She sold her new Georgetown house and the home - Wexford - that had been built in Atoka, Virginia, where she and President Kennedy had intended to retire. She spent a year in mourning, making few public appearances, zealously guarding her privacy. During this time, her daughter Caroline told her school teacher that her mother cried frequently.
She perpetuated her husband's memory by visiting his grave site on important anniversaries and attending selected memorial dedications. These included the 1967 christening of the Navy aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) (decommissioned in 2007), in Newport News, Virginia, and a memorial in Hyannisport, Massachusetts. In May 1965, Mrs. Kennedy and Queen Elizabeth II jointly dedicated the United Kingdom's official memorial to President Kennedy at Runnymede, England. This memorial included several acres of soil given in perpetuity from the United Kingdom to the United States of America on the meadow where the Magna Carta had been signed by King John in 1215. She also visited Ireland in 1967 to officially open a special park, dedicated to the late President, located near New Ross, where her husband's ancestors came from. Shortly after this, in 1971 nude photos were taken by a paparazzo of Mrs. Kennedy sunbathing. These were published in the August 1975 issue of Hustler magazine after having been purchased by Larry Flynt. It lead to much embarrassment but became one of the best selling issues of the magazine for that year.
She oversaw plans for the establishment of the John F. Kennedy Library, which is the repository for official papers of the Kennedy Administration. Original plans to have the library situated in Cambridge, Massachusetts, near Harvard University, proved problematic for various reasons, so it is situated in Boston. The finished library, designed by I.M. Pei, includes a museum and was dedicated in Boston in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter, nearly 16 years after the assassination. The governments of many nations donated money to erect the library, in addition to corporate and private donations.
Onassis marriage
This section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (April 2009)
During her widowhood, Jacqueline was romantically linked by the press to a few men, notably David Ormsby-Gore and Roswell Gilpatric, but nothing came out of it. So when the news of her marriage to Aristotle Onassis broke out, it came as a total shock to the world.[citation needed] Her motives for the marriage are open for debate, but beyond financial security, it is reasonable to believe that at that point in her life she desperately needed an escape from the Kennedys and the United States,[citation needed] as she came to fear for her life and that of her children after the assassination of her brother-in-law Robert F. Kennedy in June 1968.
The wedding took place on October 20, 1968, on Skorpios, Onassis's private island in the Ionian Sea, Greece. Jacqueline gave up Secret Service protection and her Franking Privilege, to which a widow of a president of the United States is entitled, after her marriage to Onassis.
For a time, the marriage brought her much adverse publicity and seemed to tarnish the image of the grieving presidential widow, and she became the target of paparazzi who were following her everywhere much to her displeasure and dismay. Despite it all, the marriage initially seemed successful enough, the couple dividing their time between New York City, Paris and Skorpios.
Then tragedy struck again, Onassis's only son Alexander died in a plane crash in January 1973. The once invincible Onassis was left a broken and disillusioned man and the marriage turned sour. His health began deteriorating rapidly and he died in Paris, on March 15, 1975. Her legacy was severely limited under Greek law, which limited how much a non-Greek surviving spouse could inherit. After two years of legal battle, Jacqueline eventually accepted from Christina Onassis, Onassis's daughter and sole heir, a settlement of $26,000,000, waiving all other claims to the Onassis estate.
Later years
Life in New York
Onassis's death in 1975 made Mrs. Onassis, then 46, a widow for the second time. Now that her children were older, she decided to find work that would be fulfilling to her. Since she had always enjoyed writing and literature, in 1975 Jacqueline accepted a job offer as an editor at Viking Press. But, in 1978, the President of Viking Press, Thomas H. Guinzburg, authorized the purchase of the Jeffrey Archer novel Shall We Tell the President?, which was set in a fictional future presidency of Edward M. Kennedy and described an assassination plot against him. Although Guinzburg cleared the book purchase and publication with Mrs. Onassis, upon the publication of a negative Sunday New York Times review which asserted that Mrs. Onassis held some blame for its publication, she abruptly resigned from Viking Press the next day.[20] She then moved to Doubleday as an associate editor under an old friend, John Sargent, living in New York City, Martha's Vineyard and the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis, Massachusetts. From the mid 1970s until her death, her companion was Maurice Tempelsman, a Belgian-born industrialist and diamond merchant who was long separated from his wife.[21]
She also continued to be the subject of much press attention, most notoriously involving the photographer Ron Galella. He followed her around and photographed her as she went about her day-to-day activities, obtaining candid, iconic photos of her.[22] She ultimately obtained a restraining order against him and the situation brought attention to paparazzi-style photography.[23]
Among the many books she edited was Larry Gonick's The Cartoon History of the Universe. He expressed his gratitude in the acknowledgments in Volume 2. Mrs. Onassis's continuing charisma is indicated by the delight the Canadian author Robertson Davies took in discovering that at a commencement exercise at an American university at which he was being honored, Jacqueline Kennedy was on hand, circulating among the honorees. On the other hand, her efforts on behalf of Doubleday to enlist Frank Sinatra, the Duchess of Windsor and Queen Elizabeth II as Doubleday authors were firmly rebuffed.
Former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in 1986 during a visit from the President and First Lady, Ronald and Nancy ReaganJacqueline Onassis also appreciated the contributions of African-American writers to the American literary canon and encouraged Dorothy West, her neighbor on Martha's Vineyard and the last surviving member of the Harlem Renaissance, to complete The Wedding: a multi-generational story about race, class, wealth, and power in the United States. The novel received great literary acclaim when it was published by Doubleday in 1995 and Oprah Winfrey introduced the story in 1998 to millions of Americans via a television film of the same name starring Halle Berry. Dorothy West acknowledged Jacqueline Onassis's kind encouragement in the foreword.
She also worked to preserve and protect America's cultural heritage. The notable results of her hard work include Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C, and Grand Central Terminal, New York's beloved historic railroad station. While she was First Lady, she helped to stop the destruction of historic homes in Lafayette Square, because she knew that these buildings were an important part of the nation's capital and played an essential role in its history. Later, in New York City, she led a historic preservation campaign to save and renovate Grand Central Terminal from demolition. A plaque inside the terminal acknowledges her prominent role in its preservation. In the 1980s, she was a major figure in protests against a planned skyscraper at Columbus Circle which would have cast large shadows on Central Park, the project was cancelled, but a large twin towered skyscraper would later fill in that spot in 2003, the Time Warner Center.
From her apartment windows in New York City she had a splendid view of a glass enclosed wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art which displays the Temple of Dendur. This was a gift from Egypt to the United States in gratitude for the generosity[citation needed] of the Kennedy administration, who had been instrumental[citation needed] in saving several temples and objects of Egyptian antiquity that would otherwise have been flooded after the construction of the Aswan Dam.
In January 1994, Onassis was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer. Her diagnosis was announced to the public in February. The family and doctors were initially optimistic, and she stopped smoking at the insistence of her daughter. Onassis continued her work with Doubleday, but curtailed her schedule. By April 1994, the cancer had spread, and she made her last trip home from New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center on May 18, 1994. A large crowd of well-wishers, tourists, and reporters gathered on the street outside her penthouse apartment at 1040 Fifth Avenue, and she died in her sleep at 10:15 pm on Thursday, May 19, at just 64. Her son said, in announcing her death to the world, "My mother died surrounded by her friends and her family and her books, and the people and the things that she loved. She did it in her own way, and on her own terms, and we all feel lucky for that."[24]
Jacqueline Onassis's funeral was held on May 23 at Saint Ignatius Loyola Roman Catholic Church at Park Avenue and East 84th Street in Manhattan, which was the same church where she was baptized in 1929. At her funeral, her son, John, described three of her attributes as the love of words, the bonds of home and family, and her spirit of adventure. She was then buried next to President John F. Kennedy, and near their son Patrick and daughter Arabella at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.[25][26] The New York Daily News ran an issue the next day saying, "Missing Her."
In her will, Onassis left her children an estate valued at $43.7 million by its executors.[27]

President Habib Bourguiba, his wife Moufida Bourguiba, President Kennedy and Jacqueline, in an Oleg Cassini "Nefertiti" dress, 1961.During her husband's presidency, Jacqueline Kennedy became a symbol of fashion for women all over the world. She retained French-born American fashion designer and Kennedy family friend Oleg Cassini in the fall of 1960 to create an original wardrobe for her as First Lady. From 1961 to late 1963, Cassini dressed Mrs. Kennedy in many of her most iconic ensembles, including her Inauguration Day fawn coat and Inaugural gala gown as well as many outfits for her visits to Europe, India and Pakistan. Mrs. Kennedy's clean suits, sleeveless A-line dresses and famous pillbox hats were an overnight success around the world and became known as the "Jackie" look. Although Cassini was her primary designer, Mrs. Kennedy also wore ensembles by European fashion legends such as Chanel, Givenchy, and Dior. More than any other First Lady her style was copied by commercial manufacturers and a large segment of young women.[28]
In the years after the White House, her style changed dramatically. Gone were the modest "campaign wife" clothes. Wide-leg pantsuits, blue jeans, large lapel jackets, silk Hermes head scarves and large, round, dark sunglasses were her new look. She also experimented with different styles, often wearing a large amount of jewelry, hoop earrings with her hair pulled back, and gypsy skirts.
Legacy, memorials, and honors
Grave of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis at the Arlington National Cemetery.The companion book for a series of interviews between mythologist Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers, The Power of Myth, was created under the direction of Onassis, prior to her death. The book's editor, Betty Sue Flowers, writes in the Editor's Note to The Power of Myth: "I am grateful… to Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, the Doubleday editor, whose interest in the books of Joseph Campbell was the prime mover in the publication of this book." A year after her death in 1994, Moyers dedicated the companion book for his PBS series, The Language of Life to Onassis. The dedication read: "To Jacqueline Onassis. As you sail on to Ithaka." Ithaka was a reference to the C.P. Cavafy poem that Maurice Tempelsman read at her funeral.
In December 1999, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was among 18 included in Gallup's List of Widely Admired People of the 20th Century, from a poll conducted of the American people.
Like her assassinated husband, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis's legacy has been memorialized in various aspects of American and, to a later extent, non-American culture. They include:
A high school named Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School for International Careers, was dedicated by New York City in 1995, the first high school named in her honor.[29] It is located at 120 West 46th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, and was formerly the High School for the Performing Arts.
Joggers run around this reservoir in the northern portion of New York's Central ParkCentral Park's main reservoir was renamed in her honor as the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir.[30]
On the campus of her alma mater, The George Washington University, a residence hall located on the southeast corner of I and 23rd streets NW in Washington, D.C. was renamed Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis Hall.[31]
Near the White House, a garden was renamed the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden in her honor, shortly after the assassination of her husband.
In 2007, her name, along with her assassinated husband's, is being included on the list onboard the Japanese Kaguya mission to the moon launched on September 14, as part of The Planetary Society's "Wish Upon The Moon" campaign.[32] In addition, they are included on the list onboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission.
There is an award and a school at American Ballet Theatre named after her, in honor of her childhood study of ballet.

Jacqueline Lee "Jackie" Kennedy Onassis (July 28, 1929 – May 19, 1994) was the wife of the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and First Lady of the United States from 1961 until his assassination in 1963.
Bouvier was the elder daughter of Wall Street stockbroker John Vernou Bouvier III and socialite Janet Lee Bouvier. In 1951, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French literature from George Washington University and went on to work for the Washington Times-Herald as an inquiring photographer.
In 1952, Bouvier met Congressman John F. Kennedy at a dinner party. In November of that year, he was elected to the United States Senate, and the couple married in 1953. They had four children, two of whom died in infancy. As First Lady, she aided her husband's administration with her presence in social events and with her highly publicized restoration of the White House. On November 22, 1963, she was riding with him in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas, when he was assassinated. She and her children withdrew from public view after his funeral, and in 1968 she married Aristotle Onassis.
Following her second husband's death in 1975, she had a career as a book editor for the final two decades of her life. She is remembered for her contributions to the arts and preservation of historic architecture, as well as for her style, elegance, and grace. She was a fashion icon; her famous ensemble of pink Chanel suit and matching pillbox hat has become a symbol of her husband's assassination and one of the most iconic images of the 1960s.She ranks as one of the most popular First Ladies and in 1999 was named on Gallup's list of Most Admired Men and Women in 20th century America.

Dear Friends of the Arts:
We are busy preparing for our 2010-2011 season. I want to thank you for your support last year and previous years. Our first concert is on October 2 and 3. Our Artist is David Burgess, a Latin guitarist. He was here several years ago and we have had requests to bring him back. On Saturday night, October 2 he will play after dinner at the Indian Hills Country Club in Fairfield Bay. David is praised by critics worldwide. His international appearances as soloist have taken him to concert halls throughout North and South America, Europe and the Far East. He has acquired one of the largest collections of Latin America guitar music. He has played in Carnegie Recital Hall, Lincoln Center and Kennedy Center. This Concert is a Buffet at the Country Club for $20. Seats are limited and reservations can be made by calling 501-253-7909. There will be a cash Bar from 5-6PM, Dinner at 6PM. Concert will follow dinner and is sponsored by First Service Bank. On Sunday Afternoon, October 3 at 2PM, he will play at the Clinton Auditorium. The concert is Free and sponsored by First Service Bank. David will appear in 3 schools on Friday.
Our next Concert is Neil Rutman, Artist-in-Residence at the University of Central Arkansas, from where his students have won top prizes in such competitions as East-West Artist in New York City. He has also played all over the world, among them Queen Elizabeth Hall, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and Tokyo's Bunka Kaikan. He is a former collegiate boxer and his vocation is coach for the boxing team at the University. This concert will be Sunday, November 7, 2 p.m. at the Presbyterian Kirk of the Hills. This Concert is free also.
We will NO LONGER SELL MEMBERSHIPS IN NCAFA&E. All those who enjoy the arts will automatically be members. In addition, all Sunday Concerts will be FREE. We are shortening our concerts to two in fall and two in spring. However, we will retain the same aggressive schedule of concerts and events for our highly successful school programs we presented in past seasons.
There is one small problem with all this. We still must pay the artists and meet other expenses necessary to maintain the high caliber of the entertainment and educational events we sponsor. So we will need your sponsorship and support. We will be seeking advertisements, program sponsors, endorsements and donations from community (both businesses and individuals) as in the past. The upside to this is that ALL monies or services donated to the Foundation will be tax deductible, rather than just the amount which exceeded the value of the service or item received. We are hoping that eliminating membership dues and ticket prices will help our patrons during economically stressful times, as well as interest people who have not attended our concerts in past.
We are looking forward to seeing you and your friends at our 2010-2011 concerts and special events. Thank you for your support the past 21 years. We will need donations no matter how small.

Kevin Durant was hesitant at first to compliment Russell Westbrook for his highlight reel dunk.
"I don't want to give him too much credit. It was a great pass by myself," Durant said after the Oklahoma City Thunder routed the Sacramento Kings 1115-89, eliciting an "Oh my gosh!" from Westbrook.
"No, that was one of the most athletic plays I've ever seen," Durant added. "I think it was probably the dunk of the year."
Westbrook caught a nice lob pass from Durant and threw it down with one hand, sending the Oklahoma City crowd into a frenzy.
Thunder teammate Kendrick Perkins was impressed by the play as well.
"That dunk by Russ, that was nice. That was one of our best dunks of the year," he said after the game. "That was pretty nasty."
Serge Ibaka orchestrated a highlight reel play of his own with an impressive block.
Ibaka swatted DeMarcus Cousins with one hand and scooped the ball off the backboard.

The Horus-M3 features our Mahogany-Maple-Mahogany composite body construction along with a bound neck and headstock. A choice of Maple or Ebony can be specified for the fingerboard material.
The Caparison Horus was originally introduced in 1995 and was developed in collaboration with the Japanese guitarist, Chacha Maru. The Horus is unique in design, featuring 27 frets but with a standard scale length, thus removing the need for the player to adjust their technique. To ensure the higher frets are accessible the Horus features a compact body design and deep cutaway. The Sponge finish is applied by hand so each production model is visually unique.
About M3 Construction
The M3 construction consists of a central Maple section sandwiched between two Mahogany sides with the Maple neck bolted directly to the Maple section. The result is a balanced sound with rich sustain.
The Caparison Horus-M3 features Caparison's own design SH-27F and PH-R pickups* controlled by a simple 3-Way selector switch and single master volume control configuration.
*Alternative factory fitted EMG pickups available. For further information please click here.

HELP! Cement in PVC drain pipe
:rolleyes: Does anyone know about this problem my husband and I are having? A plumber is coming tomorrow to check it out, but I would like others' opinions, experience, or stories!
We had a small slab poured and our finisher pulled the duct tape from the drain in the floor to let out an inch of watery cement on top of slab (don't know for sure how much liquid cement went down the drain) (pvc p-trap and piping for a shower drain).
This is my first experience with cement pour, but as soon as he did it, I knew it wasn't a good idea! The exit pipe cap was already broken from previous work (the plumber failed inspection and had to let water out from pressure test so he could redo plumbing)
The next day after pour, the finisher there for an hour without us, started taking more form boards off and then when we came we saw standing water and was told about the blockage.:eek:
We tried everything ourselves, muriactic acid, plumbing and electrical snakes, forced water. Bits of cement came up and also little pieces of plastic (with a purplish, plumbing glue color) NOT rigid like the pvc caps--just like the 6ml vapor barrier we put down!:confused:
Do we have to resort to a jackhammer to our new beautiful slab??:(
Sounds to me like you (or the concrete guy) are going to need to break out the floor and replace the plumbing. If you got pieces of plumbing pipe out of the hole then the pipe has been broken.
I don't think so!
It is NOT broken pipe pieces that are coming back up--it is flexible, little pieces of plastic (looks exactly like visqueen) and little cement particles.
Wouldn't the water drain out, even if slowly, if the pvc pipe was busted under slab:confused:
I don't see how it could have broken--nothing that we did could have broken it.
My husband is trying one more thing before plumber comes out tomorrow to tell us what needs to be done.
:D I think I found out what the purple pieces of plastic are that are coming up and out of the drain! This afternoon, more came up, and I remembered the plumber used a lot of purple cement (glue) on the pvc pipe connectors. It must have dripped inside the pipes (when I looked down the drain, I could see a ring of purple.:(
We used muriactic acid to try and dissolve the cement plug (we couldn't see it at the bottom of the p-trap--it must have been further up. We don't know what else could have clogged the new drain.
Maybe the acid had a reaction with the ring of purple cement and it started coming off in pieces. There were more pvc joints further up that had purple rings.
I have pictures but don't know how to insert here.
The purple glue/primer used to glue the pipes together won't just peel off. If you have it coming out then the pipes must be coming apart. I don't know how muriatic reacts with PVC.
Purple Plastic
Joe, thanks for reply,
The plastic is very thin, semi transparent, and a little stiff like the bags cereal come in! What if it was a very thick run on the inside of the pvc when the plumber put the two pieces together. Maybe the muriactic acid reacted to it also and it broke it away from pvc.
I have a picture of pipe, on my hard drive, before poured slab--but how do I put it in a reply?
I'm trying to figure out what it is. I don't want to think someone wadded up a piece of the leftover 6ml visqueen and put purple cement on it so it would stick to the pvc.
An idea came our way about digging under the slab, cutting and redoing the p-trap, then repacking! :confused:
I don't like this idea either. I've researched and found nothing but negativity about it.
We will try 60lb air pressure with a rubber seal and try to blow out the blockage.
Is the cement finisher a friend or a contractor?
If the cement finisher is a paid contractor then have him cut the slab, let the plumber correct the problem and then have the cement finisher repour the section that was removed. Free of charge? If it was indeed his mistake.
I'm guessing the the cement and plastic may just be may just be "stuff " that went down the drain when he removed the tape. The original blockage is the real problem. How far does the snake go ? The original plumber should check this out and be responsible. The statement about the pressure test raises the question as to where this connects to the main drain - to do a pressure check one end would have to be capped. I'd be afraid to use air pressure yet - you may just push the blockage farther down. Someone may have put in a towel to cover it before the duct tape.

[VIDEO PICK: Off the Post] Piero Alva's goal while opposing keeper Juan Flores laid motionless after collapsing from heat
exhaustion in Peru was shocking, and the striker's post-game comments exhibited no remorse whatsoever.
Universidad Cesar Vallejo played host to Union Comercio in Trujillo on Sunday. With the home team leading 2-1 in the 70th minute Flores corrals a save for the visitors, begins to lose his balance, lies down and releases the ball, in need of medical attention.
His teammate in red comes to clear the ball so Flores can get assistance when Cesar Vallejo striker Alva pounces, the clearance by the defender deflects off Alva straight into net and he's credited with the cheap goal he'd been seeking, making it 3-1, which was the final score.
You'd like to think these actions were an aberration, or an accident, but Alva removed all doubt about his moral compass after the game.
"Soccer is for the living," he said when asked about Flores' condition at the time. ...

Eshu (person)
Return to Eshu (person)
(Eshu-[Elegba], Eshu-[Elegua])
Eshu is a [trickster] [god] of west [Africa], and a messenger god of the [Yoruba] peoples. He is both loved and feared by [worship]pers, because besides making mischief, he also rewards generously and punishes harshly. While he knows all things and is [justice] personified, at the same time he is [chaotic] and unpredictable. Financial losses, accidents, [incarceration], and theft are all considered punishment by Eshu for some wrongdoing. He is the force behind [the Power of the Three-Fold Law].
Eshu's main purpose is acting as [mediator] between humans and the gods (both the [orisha] and the [creator god]). He carefully listens to all of the prayers, wishes and sacrifices put forth by [humankind], and then translates them, delivering the message to the gods. Because of this important roll, it is vital that humans remain in favor with Eshu. Tradition requires that he be honored before any other [divinity] ([orisha]). All ceremonies begin and end with him and before a worshipper can make a sacrifice to any other [deity], part of the offering must be given to Eshu.
This deity is depicted as a young, [handsome] [mulatto] man. On his cheek he has three [tribal] [scar]s representing himself and his children. He holds his [sacred] "[Garabatto]", a three-pronged wooden branch which is covered with red and black beads. Over the other shoulder, he carries a [knapsack] that holds the keys to the universe, as well as toys, candies and pranks. Sometimes he is shown wearing a [jester]'s costume in red and black with a matching [three-pointed hat].
He rules over the [doorway]s and pathways of the universe. He holds the keys to the [universe] as well as the key of the [Mysteries] of the [Ashe]. Eshu lives in the center of the [cosmos], at the [crossroad]s, and thus crossroads are particularly sacred to him. It is at these crossroads that his presence can be felt strongly on earth. When Eshu manifests himself on earth, he likes to keep to the shadows and to play [prank]s on non-believers.
His image appears on many ritual objects such as divinitation boards, wands and staffs. In the worship of Eshu, devotees carry amulets and staffs called [opa]. The [altar] of Eshu in the home is kept at ground level behind the front door, or outside, directly to the left of the door. The alter must never be higher than any human height. Eshu's sacred days are Sunday and Monday and his feast days are on January 1, June 13th, and November 2. This deity enjoys offerings of [coconuts], hard candies, [cigar]s, [tobacco] and [hard liquor]. His favorite animal sacrifices are black and white [hen]s, and female goats.
Eshu has many, many [aspect]s. Some of these are:
One [prayer] to Eshu is spoken as follows:
To You, Oh Great [Lord] of the Roads.

His teams won three Big Ten Championships (1975, 1976, and 1978) while the 1978 team advanced to the College World Series, finishing fifth. He was an assistant coach on Michigan's 1962 national championship team with Lund as head coach. Benedict has come out of retirement twice to help former Wolverines Bill Freehan (1990) and Geoff Zahn (1996) get started as Michigan head coaches.
Bill Freehan -- No. 11
Retired - 1977
Freehan, who wore No. 14 in his single record-setting season as a Wolverine, was an All-America catcher in 1961 and later named Catcher of his Era by Baseball America. He hit .446 in overall action and .585 in Big Ten play, both marks setting single-season records that still stand entering the 2010 season. Freehan spent 15 seasons with the Detroit Tigers and was an 11-time Major League All-Star. He made the No. 11 famous in Detroit and that was the number that was retired at Michigan. He returned to the Wolverines in 1990, serving six seasons as a head coach and winning 166 games, while wearing No. 11.
Barry Larkin -- No. 16
Retired - May 1, 2010
During his three-year career at Michigan, Larkin led the Wolverines to the College World Series twice (1983-84) and was a two-time All-America selection (1984-85). As a freshman, Larkin had two doubles in a victory over Maine in the first game of the College World Series, leading the Wolverines to a third-place finish. The Wolverines finished seventh during his sophomore campaign as Larkin picked up the first of two consecutive All-America citations. The shortstop hit a career-high .368 during his junior year to earn national recognition for the second straight season. The Cincinnati Reds took Larkin with the fourth pick in the 1985 MLB Draft. He played for 19 years with his hometown club, leading his squad to the 1990 World Series title and earning the 1995 MLB Most Valuable Player award.
Jim Abbott -- No. 31
Retired - April 18, 2009
Abbott, a three-year letterwinner (1986, '87, '88), became the first baseball player to ever win the AAU's Sullivan Award, recognizing the top amateur athlete in the nation. He took home the coveted Golden Spikes Award in 1987 as collegiate baseball's top player as a sophomore, after posting an 11-3 record with 60 strikeouts in 87 innings of work. Abbott was the winning pitcher for the U.S. team in the 1988 Olympic gold medal game, beating Japan, 5-3. He was the No. 8 overall pick by the California Angels in the 1988 MLB Draft. Abbott made his pro debut that same year, without playing in the minor leagues, and was one of only three pitchers during the 1980s to win his first professional game at the major league level. In 1992, he was traded to the New York Yankees where he made history with a 4-0 no-hit victory over the Cleveland Indians at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 4, 1993. He finished his 10-year Major League Baseball career in 1999.
Don Lund -- No. 33
Retired - May 9, 1999
Lund earned nine varsity letters at Michigan with three each in baseball (1943, '44, '45), basketball (1943, '44, '45) and football (1942, '43, '44). A first-round football selection by the Chicago Bears in 1945 (seventh player taken), Lund signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers and played in the Major Leagues with the Dodgers, St. Louis Browns and Detroit Tigers. He replaced the legendary Ray Fisher and coached the Wolverine baseball team to the 1962 national championship. Lund was farm director for the Detroit Tigers for its 1968 World Series victory. He then returned to Michigan as an associate athletic director, retiring in 1992.
Ray Fisher -- No. 44
Retired - May 13, 2000
Fisher, who coached at Michigan from 1921-58, set a school record with 636 wins. Fisher led the Wolverines to 15 Big Ten championships and won the 1953 College World Series. Prior to arriving at Michigan, Fisher pitched in the Major Leagues from 1910-20 for the New York Highlanders, Yankees and Reds. He was 97-93 with a 2.82 ERA and was one of only a few college graduates in the Major Leagues during the early 20th century.

About Me
NOTE: as of 2012, my latest work is not on here (yet!). I'll upload them soon, but in the meantime, know that I have looked the same for the past 9 years. Kapeesh?
I want to TFP with amazing and amazingly creative photographers, and I am also in need of tears! I am very interested in fashion, beauty, retro/vintage, and creative endeavors. No nudies...but other than that, send me your ideas .
I have long, brown hair, bangs, earlobes and 1 tragus pierced, and am told almost daily that I look like Anne Hathaway or Audrey Hepburn.
I tell most hairstylists to do whatever they want with my bangs, even cut them if they do so desire. Also, makeup artists are always pleased to deal with my very well taken care of skin!
I am a licensed manicurist with my own salon, and love doing my nails for shoots. Not only will my nails help tie the "look" together, but you never need to worry about Photoshopping out hangnails! I really hate it when I see a beautiful picture and the model has crusty cuticles...but anywho...
I prefer to collaborate with others for hair/makeup but can do both myself if need be. I am also looking to build a portfolio for my nail work, so if you need classy or crazy nails for a shoot, let's talk!

Thursday, November 4, 2004 MCO-IAD
I left from my internship in Sanford at 4:30 p.m. and drove on the Central Florida Greeneway and the Beeline to MCO. It was a rather warm afternoon in the Central Florida area, and I was hoping for a cooler weekend in D.C., my destination. After driving without traffic issues, I arrived at MCO and promptly parked at the "Blue" Satellite lot. The shuttle bus quickly arrived, and I joined a group of pax whom the majorities were flying on WN. I got off at the DH stop, which included FL and TZ. I proceeded to the DH counter, which is right next to FL's counter. I was surprised to find out DH is located in Terminal A, since the carriers that use Airside 3 use the Terminal B facilities. Since there was no line, I immediately went to the agents, whom were being trained by a supervisor. After the check-in process, I was given a boarding pass with a baggage claim sticker behind the boarding pass. I then visited Zyng's Noodlery in the food court and purchased Pad Thai to take on board the flight, since it appeared I didn't have much time to eat (I don't like to be rushed). After a fifteen-minute wait at security, some associates (including 744BFA, a.net/MyAviation photographer) who I will be joining to D.C. at the tram area greeted me. After conferring with them the flight information, I discovered that the agent swapped my original flight (DH 2106) with DH 2156. Realizing that I only had 15 minutes before the flight left, I told the group I will meet them in D.C. and I hopped on the next tram. After heading over to DH's gate area (former US gates 41 and 43), I discovered that DH 2156 had been delayed to 7:00 p.m. Since no flight was going anywhere, I decided to sit down and wait until the group I am traveling with arrived, in the meantime observing a lone DH CRJ parked in between the 41 and 41 jetways. Some of the pax in the gate area had a look of tiredness, which had me concerned since the podium board showed that a flight to CHS was also delayed. Interestingly, DH 2106 was not on the board, which will concern the associates whom are supposed to be on the flight. When they arrive, they inquire about the situation at the podium, and the agents stated that the flight will be leaving later than 2156. The agents made an announcement about the status of 2106, and there were moans that permeated through the gate area. The agents also stated that they would be reissuing boarding passes to pax that are on both DH 2106 and 2156. Given the great tumult, some of the pax became confused and approached the podium, but the agents asked the pax not to approach the podium, as they will reissue boarding passes during boarding. Eventually, a series of two CRJ's showed up simultaneously, one parking at gate 43 ramp and the other pulling up to the gate 41 jetway. The pax had a look of anger on their face, as they believed they will be flying on an Airbus equipment heavily advertised by DH. The pax on the 1st CRJ that pulled up deplaned via airstairs, and were waiting for the gate claim bags to arrive before proceeding to the gate 43 jetway. One female in the gate area was furious over the fact that the flight to IAD will be boarding via stairs and not via jetway. The agent finally spoke over the PA and asked all pax going to D.C. nonstop to proceed to gate 43.

Not having a clear understanding of what is going on, I asked one of the agents if this was DH 2156 boarding. She stated it was, and I proceeded to wait in line. I told my associates that they would need to go to the podium, but they decided to wait in the boarding line since they saw some people from DH 2106 boarding as well. Thinking that I would get a new boarding pass, the agent just took my ticket and ripped the coupon portion and bid me farewell. Still in a confused state, I went down the jetway and met another DH agent at the stairwell, and also asked her if I am boarding DH 2156. She stated yes, and I proceeded to follow the crowd that was boarding one of the CRJs. Inside the aircraft, the sole flight attendant and the first officer greeted me. I immediately went to my assigned seat to realize that a lady was already sitting there. She showed me her boarding pass, which was listed as "DH 2106". I noticed that this was happening to other passengers. I patiently waited in the aisle while other pax were taking their seats until the FA came over to me and asked me to take my seat. I told her that a lady was sitting where I was supposed to be sitting, but then she told me to take whatever seat was open. I decided to sit next to one of my associates, the only open seat left, and relax a little after the confusing start.
After the doors closed, the FA came on the PA and apologized for the delay and confusion multiple times. She stated that the delays were due to the rain occurring in the northeast region. After the briefing, the captain came on the PA and stated that we would have a quick flight of approx. 1 hour 30 minutes. He also gave the rundown of the weather at IAD, a cool evening after a day of rain. Shortly, the FA played the safety announcement, which featured political commentators James Carville and Mary Matalin. We started push back, and noticed another DH CRJ waiting on the tarmac for the parking to free up. The CRJ swifty drove down taxiway Charlie, and I observed a CO 757 standing idle on taxiway Bravo. The captain announced to the sole FA that we were about to takeoff and asked her to take her seat. We slowly taxied into position and accelerated for an approximately 30-second take-off roll. We continued a straight southerly direction for five minutes until finally turning left for the northern route. We get a good view of MCO at nighttime, along with the city lights gleaming. There are fireworks going off at one of the theme parks in the distance. I am unsure if it is Universal or Disney World, but I think it is Universal since it was closer to downtown. One can easily point out the Orlando Executive Airport and the Suntrust quadra-pyramid skyscraper in downtown Orlando. Shortly, the city lights would fade as the flight went over the darkness of the rural regions.
Immediately after takeoff, the FA was in the galley preparing various items for the service. When she was ready, she came around the cabin and took drink orders. I took out my wallet since I wanted to order Chardonnay (nothing to go better w/ Pad Thai). When she came to my row, I was about to hand her money but then she turned to another pax and took drink orders from them. Fly744BFA said that the drinks were on the house, but I did not catch the announcement. When I inquired the payment w/ the FA, she vehemently said, "I will get YOU – your Chardonnay." She never answered my question, but she came w/ the Chardonnay and the cup w/ ice and placed it on the tray table. After the drink was served I began to eat the lukewarm Pad Thai I purchased earlier at the MCO food court. After all of the drinks were served, the FA came around with a snack basket which contained a choice of Stouffers (sp?) Deluxe Cookie Assortment, Sun Chips, "Snyder of Hanover" square pretzels, and Quaker Oats Strawberry Cereal Bar. She let the pax choose from the basket what light snack the pax wanted. After the service, the FA collected the trash and took more drink orders. Various pax were also inquiring to the FA about the Airbus 319, and the FA stated in a brief conversation w/ a pax that the Airbus 319s were delayed for "certification purposes." Prior to arrival, the FA distributed hot towels to the pax and mints w/ "Independence Air" labeling. Within North Carolina/Virginia was a massive cloud layer, possibly from the cold front, which spawned the rainy day for the D.C. metro area. A descent was in the works as the pressure from the ears was kicking in.
The captain announced that we would be on the ground in 15 minutes. It seemed that we had a quick descent into IAD, given the nose-down attitude from the aircraft that was quite obvious when compared to the cloudbank horizon. The FA handled the final trash collection before the chimes alerted the sole FA to take her seat in front of the cockpit door, facing the pax. There was moderate turbulence in the aircraft as we were in the cloudbank. Soon, spots of the cloudbank opened and one could see the sparse lighting coming from the rural communities. The nose-down attitude was also obvious when compared to the horizon. We finally broke out of the clouds and flew over Highway 50. We crossed the Loudoun county line and the nose briefly lifted to touch down w/ a nose-up attitude on Runway 1L. There was a plane rolling on takeoff from runway 30 as we were gliding in. The plane reverse-thrusted off a high-speed taxiway near the Dulles Cargo Ramp. There were various FedEx A310s parked, along w/ a DHL 727. In the lower visibility, I was able to spot out an AF 772 at gate, UA 772 holding on a taxiway near the northern end of Concourse C, BA 772 at gate in Concourse D, DL M80 & CRJ at gate in Concourse B. There was also a DH A319 parked at Concourse B. There was also a myriad of mobile lounge busses moving everywhere. Eventually the CRJ made its way towards the southeastern end of Concourse A amongst the DH CRJ hub. We parked at the gate and deplaned.
We waited a moment in the cool, refreshing evening weather while 744BFA's bag was delivered by the valet service. Afterwards, we made our way down a covered walkway, then down a corridor, which took everyone to the waiting lobby for Gate A2. The waiting area for DH is definitely a unique site to look at. There were many new LCD monitor displays, in addition to new carpeting and seats. We made our way to the mobile lounge dock for Concourse A, and there was one that was ready to depart in 2 minutes. With a full load of passengers, the driver shut the doors and walked to his driving station. We rumbled down the tarmac, and observed an NW A320, DC9, and CRJ parked to the left of the dock. Fast approaching was the behemoth structure that was designed by the same architect who designed Terminal 5 at JFK. The brief ride ended as the lounge drove up and embankment towards the Concourse A docking area in the main terminal. We got off, walked to the left where the baggage signs stated, and went down a "construction maze" ramp to the baggage area. One would note after disembarking from the mobile lounge is the heavy construction associated w/ the project to install an underground tram system. After walking over to Baggage Claim 7, where SR 103 (he took an earlier NW flight) was waiting, I promptly picked up my bag, as it was already circulating on the carousel, and proceeded out to the bus ramp to take the hotel shuttle.
Sunday, November 7, 2004 IAD-MCO
After the brief stay and the history lesson of walking around D.C., it was time to head back to "sunny" Orlando. The shuttle van dropped our group off at the bus curbside area; we headed up the "1960's-style" ramp up to the baggage area, where we then proceeded up the escalator to the ticketing lobby. We proceeded to a DH e-ticket kiosk positioned perpendicular to the DH ticket counters. After I dropped off my checked bag with one of the attendants, I proceeded to the security checkpoint, which had a short line. I waited briefly as I heard the security message played over the PA over and over again. It sounded like one of those announcements played at a theme park while waiting to get on a ride. After the routine at the checkpoint, we proceeded to the visit the modular concourses known as Concourses C and D, since we had some time to until boarding. After the brief mobile lounge ride, which took us under the bridge of Concourse A (myriad of DH CRJs to the right, NW DC9 and CRJ to the left, DL M80 and CRJ on the other side), we docked at a very sparse Concourse C (several Teds, one UA 757, one UA 767). After finishing the walk-a-thon to Concourse D (AA 738 pushback to DFW, BA 777 pushback to LHR), we decided to head back to Concourse B, but a mobile lounge attendant advised us that there is no link between Concourse C/D to Concourse A/B. We would have to go to the main terminal, and transfer to Concourse B boarding dock, located at the mobile lounge waiting area for hardstand flights. After the lounge docked, we headed towards the NW gate where SR 103 was on a flight headed back to MCO. By the time we got there, he was already on the plane. We continued on to the skybridge, where several picture opportunities were taken (insert pictures here). We continued to the EuroCafe in Concourse A, where I purchased a cinnamon-twist pastry to take onboard the flight. The DH employees are very organized and the ground chaos that everyone talks about in Concourse A seemed nonexistent. I waited in the redesigned waiting area, where eventually the first of the two Orlando flights started boarding. One of the associates boarded the first flight, and we would board the second flight five minutes later.

After the agent scanned the boarding pass, I proceeded with Fly744BFA to the aircraft, where a jovial FA and the First Officer was at the door greeting the pax. With all of the passengers on board, the doors closed and the FA welcomed the pax and asked if they were ready to go to "sunny" Orlando. The pax simultaneously mumbled something and then the FA went to play the safety briefing, once again featuring Carville and Matalin. During pushback, there was a child with his mother sitting behind me who waved to the wingwalker. The wingwalker waved back at him (This is the first time I've seen a ramp worker make contact w/ a passenger onboard the aircraft).
We headed down the taxiway, in between Concourses A/B and the Main Terminal. There was a concourse attached to the Main Terminal under construction, with ground jetways (most likely for regional jets, but for UA or DH?). There wasn't much activity in the concourse areas, except the DH concourse. Concourse G also didn't have much traffic, most likely due to a UA bank that left. We quickly taxied to Runway 30, where a company CRJ was on a takeoff roll. When we got to the runway, the aircraft performed an immediate rolling takeoff. We took an immediate left turn, which is quite noticeable looking from the left side of the aircraft, observing the roofs of the suburban communities that surround Dulles. The flight eventually headed south, with the various views of rural communities within the viewing frame.
With the flight more stabilized, the FA started the drink service by asking the pax what they wanted and wrote it on a sheet. I asked for orange juice to complement my first meal of the day. The jovial FA gave me an Ocean Spray Orange Juice in a container that looks comparable to those Egg-beater containers that have a serving of two whole eggs (open the aluminum flap). After the beverage service, the FA came around with the light snack selections, which were the same items as the previous flight. I grabbed a strawberry Quaker Oats cereal bar and ate it, in addition to the cinnamon-twist pastry I purchased at the concourse. After a moment, the FA came around with more refills, and I asked for more orange juice. During the course of this flight, I would be able to spot the cities of Richmond, Charlotte (and Douglas International Airport near downtown), Columbia (SC), Savannah, and Jacksonville. The cloudless atmosphere allowed for viewing of many miles into the horizon. After passing Savannah, the FA came around to collect the trash and hand out hot towels. The captain came on the PA and stated that we should have an early arrival into MCO, with descent slowly taking place.
The plane started to stabilize at a lower altitude when passing Jacksonville (downtown and multiple airports in the distance). The aircraft was creeping closer to cross over the shoreline. We pass St. Augustine, and finally cross over Flagler Beach/Palm Coast/Bunnell area, heading towards the OMN (Ormond Beach) VOR inbound on the Bithlo Seven STAR. Over the Daytona area, one can observe the International Speedway (U.S. 92) and Interstate 4. In the distance lies the town of Deland. The FA quickly distributes mints at this point, and collects final trash soon afterwards. While the plane is descending at a faster rate, 744BFA points out at a DL M80 that is several thousand feet about us (Place Picture here). After clarification from the flight status display online, this aircraft was headed to MLB, also on the Bithlo Seven STAR (shared by MLB and MCO). With the aircraft getting closer to the Orlando area, the town of Sanford approaches. Tomoka Farms Road can be clearly seen. SFB is also clearly visible. We maintain the southerly heading until spotting the Central Florida Greenway, Downtown Orlando, Orlando Executive Airport, Colonial Drive, and finally MCO. We end up on downwind with MCO in full view. With the FA returning to the front of the plane to take her seat, the plane takes a gentle circle towards the airport, never losing sight of it. We fly over the subdivisions that lie southeast of the airport. When the plane lines up with runway 36R, all of the flaps and landing gear comes down. From my vantage point, I can only see runways 17L & R, and barely Airside 2 & 4, but the visual becomes better as we get closer. We fly over the Greeneway, then the forest which lies to the south of the runways, and we touch down gently on the runway and taxi off near the U.S. Airways section of Airside 3. We make our way towards the DH gates, but had to hold while a US 767 (possibly going to CLT) taxied in front of us. After the heavy cleared, the plane positioned itself on gate 41. The FA thanked us for flying DH, and promptly opened the door after the aircraft was stationary and the engines shut down. The agent working the jetway had to adjust it several times, but finally got it attached to the CRJ. When we deplaned into the jetway, gravity was kicking in as we made our way towards the gate area, since the jetway's angle was swooped low relative to the location of the aircraft.
At the gate area, we realized that the associate who was on the flight that left five minutes before us had not arrived. We waited briefly until his aircraft arrived at one of the staircase ramp positions for gate 43. When he arrived, we headed towards the tram to the baggage claim area for DH, and DH clarifies with a million signs around Airside 3 that state "Baggage Claim for Independence Air- Please use Terminal A" . When we arrived at the main terminal, the signs once again were there to greet us, but the effect worked well, as the pax made their way towards Terminal A baggage area and not Terminal B. At baggage carousel A7, the monitors above still stated our separated flights as "Independence Air Flight 10", the original flight. The bags made their way through, and I took my bag and headed downstairs to take the satellite bus to the Blue Parking Lot.
-So, what ever happened to the other MCO-IAD flight that was leaving within 20 minutes of us? It's a mystery up to this day.
-The ground situation at MCO was a rocky start to my first experience w/ DH, but I found a major improvement w/ the operations at IAD. I'll take the MCO situation as a "learning curve" experience, as it was their only 2nd day of 15-flight operations. In addition, the weather from IAD played a part in the delay.
-The DH gate area at IAD (Concourse A) definitely has a unique design.
-The mints and hot towels are a great addition, but all of these items contribute to the cost level that the airline has. It would not have bothered me if they did not exist.
-The employees were friendly and courteous (rocky start again for the FA on the MCO-IAD leg, but she became nicer progressively).
-Hopefully Mr. Skeen can prove me wrong that he can keep this airline afloat given the cost level of the airline, in addition to the fuel costs that have hit all carriers.

What size Skate Banana?
I'm going to buy a Lib-tech skate banana, but I'm having some trouble on figuring out what size to get.
I'm 5'6 and weigh 165lb. I'm not planning on using this board as a dedicated freestyle board, so I don't want to get it too short. What size would you recommend out of 152,154,or 156?
Any advice would be appreciated.
To narrow it down I'd say you do not need a 156, its up to you between the 152 or 154. Whats your build like? Athletic or uh heavy? Either way if it were me I'd go 154 for about 70/30 all-mountain/park riding. If it were the reverse I would get the 152... Cheers!
I wouldn't say I'm heavy nor athletic. I'd say i'm like right in the middle. I'm not ripped, but i'm in shape enough to be able to run 2 miles 3 or 4 times a week. Thanks for the advice :)
Go the 52 if your freestyle is going to be park driven (you could possibly look at the 49 if your solely using it for park). The 52/54 if its all mountain freestyle, up to you really. I have a 53 alt camber and am roughly the same height/weight as you, for all mountain and it suits well.
Thanks for the help :). I'm leaning towards 152 because I heard with the Skate Banana you want to size down a little bit. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
I'm 6 foot and 185 lbs and I sport a 159 SB
I ride every where kinda equal amounts. I bought the recommended size and I have been very happy with this board. If I rode more park and was better I might have gone one size smaller.
Not sure if this helps but that was my report on my board.
I ride a 53 Never Summer SL and it floats way better than the 59 does with my weight on it.
I vote for the 154.. mainly since I like riding the backbowls and cruising along the trails when the park gets crowded. But there really isn't a huge difference between the two.
i would go with the 54. 2cm isnt too much of a difference so you can't go wrong with either. if you suck get the smaller size. amen.
