Smoker

JFK attended the freshmen Smoker that he organized. He had spent months arranging for the individual acts, using his father and grandfather to get inquires out to potential acts he wanted to book. He solicited his father by letter to see if there might be some leads to get complementary ginger ale donated as refreshments in return for advertising in the program.
