John F. Kennedy’s life insurance letter at age 30

The National Archives and Records Administration has contributed over 100,000 photographs and documents to Wikimedia Commons, including these two regarding President John F. Kennedy.

Kennedy’s $10,000 life insurance policy in 1947 in all likelihood originated during his Navy service during World War II.  Looks like he’s wearing his PT-109 tie clip in this 1962 photo.  Pierre Salinger grew up in cool gray San Francisco, also ex-Navy, so he deserved presumably being kidded for bundling-up out on the water in September.
