JFK's election was my first voting experience. It was a great time to be
young, hopeful and expect great things for America. My Irish Grandmother
was so excited to see an Irish Catholic man make it to the White House.
She knew what it was like when the Irish were not so welcomed in this
country. We were all so proud.
