A curious fact that plays against JFK’s virile, manly persona is that when he was a child one of his favorite pastimes was basketweaving.
After John Kennedy’s family moved to New York when Jack was ten, the family’s governess at the time (a Miss Frazier) taught JFK’s sisters to weave baskets. Not to be left out of the fun, JFK would sit on the porch and join in with his sisters, trying to weave a better basket.
