Telegrams from Leo - Shannon
My grandfather Leo kept up a one-sided correspondence with various American presidents throughout his lifetime and today I found this telegram he had sent May 29, 1962.
If you cannot read the copy: it is addressed to “President J.F. Kennedy” and in it he wrote:
DEAR MR. PRESIDENT:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY. WITH THE NEW FRONTIER HAVING CREATED A MASSACRE WHICH MAKES CUSTERS LAST STAND LOOK LIKE A SCOUT JAMBOREE I HOPE YOU’RE ENJOYING YOUR BIRTHDAY AND GIFTS. CONTACT ME IN 1964.
LEO WALKER
