I don't have much memory of her, other than her courage and grace at the death of her husband.
When I was a kid, though, before that tragic event, we had a record, a spoof of the Kennedy White House. She did have a lovely voice--I do remember the real tour on TV. The album stuck with me for years, especially the luncheon vignette with world leaders.
My folks were Irish Catholic Democrats. That's how I grew up. I think now JFK is really center-right on the political spectrum. As for Jackie, I'll have to listen to more.
...But I did learn French as a kid from a war bride who ended up in my small town. And that stays with me today too:) I took Russian later. (Better I shouldn't learn any more languages, because I sorta loathe both countries.) Though French still sounds lovely to me.
