   President John F. #Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas OTD 1963.
   He gave his last public speech here on
   October 26, 1963 at the groundbreaking of the Robert Frost #Library at Amherst College. For good reason, it is considered one of his greatest.

   Ann & Joseph Blumenthal (typographer and publisher of Frost's poetry) produced 600 copies of this keepsake as their holiday greeting for 1964-1965. The woodcut is by Fritz Kredel

   #JFK had been unable to attend a memorial service for Frost in February
