John F. Kennedy. He wasn't president though, just a senator. He was running for president and appeared in a local parade. After the parade his people were setting up a speaker's platform in the local park. Kennedy was standing under a tree, stretching his back. My mom approached him and said, "Senator Kennedy, would you sign my son's cast?" John whipped out a pen and said, "Sure." So he signed my brother's broken arm cast as I looked on. I was too young to realize how important he was politically. In fact, when I heard that 'Senator Kennedy' would be appearing in the parade, I said, "Who's that?" Mom took a cool pic that is floating around somewhere in the family archives. Nice closeup of Kennedy signing the cast.
Awesome!
