About This Episode
President John F. Kennedy had no shortage of people who considered themselves his friends. With so many people looking for a relationship with him as he rose through the political ranks, there was one man who stood out as one of President Kennedy’s near constant companions: Kirk Lemoyne "Lem" Billings.
Special thanks to this week's guests, Reference Archivist Stacey Chandler, and Audiovisual Archivist Maryrose Grossman.
