my childhood

I was born on May 29, 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts. My parents were Joe Kennedy and Rose Kennedy. In February of 1920, I caught Scarlet fever and the only reason I got in the hospital was because of my father's position in power. As a child I loved to read. My favorite book was King Arthur and the Round Table. In 1943 I served in World WarII and the PT boat I was captain of blew up! The surviving crew and I swam to a nearby island where we convinced the natives to help us. The college I attended was Harvard Univeristy.
