When Joe Met John: Eichler and JFK on the Campaign Trail

blog |

On the 50th anniversary of the death of John F. Kennedy, many are marking the occasion with slide shows of photos from Kennedy's life and the fateful day of his death. But a favorite shot of ours here at the Eichler Network doesn't appear in most photo compendia of the late president. In the 1960 image, a campaigning Kennedy, left, shakes hands with Joe Eichler, a lifelong Democrat and a member of the Democratic Central Committee of California. Two great men in one great photo.
