| for lunch to honor the oldest member of a very exclusive club. It has only seven members, and they all make sure that no matter what important things are on their schedule, or where they are, they make it to this event. It is the seven living governors of this state, and on Saturday, although in a wheelchair after breaking his hip in September, there was Al Rosellini, about to turn 100 on Thursday. The governors were remarkably cordial and friendly with each other, considering a good portion had run against each other for office, sometimes in nasty races. But time passes and the heated remarks don't seem as important. "We all share the same thing," said Dan Evans, 84, the Republican governor from 1965 to 1977, about knowing just what it's like to be a governor. "It's welded us together." It was Evans who beat Rosellini, a Democrat, when the latter ran for a third term after first being elected in 1957. Then, when Evans himself ran for a third term, Rosellini tried a comeback, and Evans once again won. Now the two men greeted each other like old friends, which they are. |

SEATTLE'S CRISP sea breezes, observed Sen. Henry M. Jackson yesterday afternoon,
are a fine change from campaigning in the "hot and muggy East."; With that, the
Washington senator introduced Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy at
an offseason version of Seafair in downtown Seattle.
BEFORE THE FUNCTION was over, though, there were those who wondered if
Seattle might not be noted for cool receptions as well as cool breezes.
A crowd estimated at 3,000 (7,500 estimated at Nixon's August 5 visit) pressed around
the speaker's stand in the University Plaza but feminine squeals were more the mood
than the "voice of the people."
IF KENNEDY WERE disappointed, it never was evident as he smiled handsomely in

It may have been easier for older Washington Democrats, because the man in the front
seat is recognizable as Senator Henry M "Scoop" Jackson. That puts JFK's campaign
drive in Washington, most likely Seattle. A Google Image check of JFK+ campaign+
Seattle turned up the photo with the theater marquee showing Marilyn Monroe's movie.
(She sure was something to watch.) Bob Witherspoon
*****
This is one puzzle for which it helped to be "of a certain age". I recognized Senator
Scoop Jackson in the front seat. Did you know that Governor Rosellini, sitting next to
Kennedy, celebrated his 100th birthday January 21? Margaret Paxton
*****
This quiz was surprisingly easy. I recognized Eunice, although I didn't immediately
recognize Jackson, as I remember him as a much older man, so I did a Google image
search with the terms kennedy 1960 campaign appearances eunice, and this picture
was the second one found. Another fairly simple Google search found the picture with
the theater marquee. Herschel Browne
*****
Wow- this was one of my quicker results. I immediately recognized Eunice Kennedy,
so searched google photos for “Eunice campaigning with JFK”. This photo comes up
as the second photo on the second page of hits. Mary Fraser
*****
It was a little bit trickier than it seemed at first. I recognized Henry Jackson and Al
Rosellini so I knew it was in Seattle. But the caption for the PI archives said that
Jackson's ribbon was for Seafair, an event that takes place in August. I had to check
IMDB for the release dates for Let's Make Love. BTW, the billboard says "AW c'mon
Let's Make Love." I think that was the promoter's addition. Carole Cropley
*****
This photo fooled me in that I thought it would be very easy to locate. It is obviously a
picture of John F. Kennedy while he was campaigning for president, likely in 1960. It
was not until I did searches for photos of "Senator" John F Kennedy that the solution
became clear. Don Draper
*****
Another tough quiz, I happened to run across another picture from the same event
when searching for Eunice Shriver with JFK pictures. Jim Baker
*****
Great Quiz! Took me a while, but found the photo only after I used Eunice's name and
1960 presidential campaign, as search parameters on Google (Images). For some
reason, I don't know why, on first glance I thought it was Nebraska, strange!!!!!!
Supposedly, last year there was a Twitter Feed, called JFK__1960 (that's a double
underscore, the web hit noted), that used actual campaign documents to follow the
trail. Daily updates told followers exactly what occurred on the corresponding day in
1960, but I could not find any archived record of it. I don't Tweet, I don't even know
what that means!, I don't know why you would want to, or understand the benefits of
the Tweet [whether sent or received]. . .but I'm pretty sure i'm too old for that, but it
sounded like a cool resource for this week's quiz. Robert W. Steinmann, Jr.
*****
I did find a 2nd photo but not the one with the movie marquee, I'll have to look for that
one. I wasn't sure about the movie because I was able to find out it had opened on
Sept. 8th and the stop in Seattle was on Sept. 7th. However, since your question said
"at the time" and not "on that day" or similar, I thought I'd give it a try.

| 1 and 2. An image search for JFK-campaign--convertible brought quick results. Plugging in the city JFK--Seattle--convertible brings up the 5th Avenue theater photo. 3. The photo was on 06 Sep 1960: campaign documents show that he was in Michigan on the 5th and in Oregon the 7th. But "Let's make love" didn't open until 08 Sep 1960, so the marquee might be for coming attractions. The Seattle Times has a digital copy of the 06 Sep issue that might settle the issue, but I'm too cheap to shell out a Jackson for a one-day pay access pass, so "now playing" will have to do LOL.

| Many readers recognized Eunice Shriver, the President's sister, next to the President. But you didn't have to know who she was to solve the puzzle. Searching Google using the words campaign, convertible, Kennedy would get you to either the quiz picture or this similar one taken the same day. The quiz picture appears on the site www.seattlepi.com website. Click here. |
| Not as Hard as You Think |
| Some monitors are better than others. If your monitor has a nigh enough resolution, you might be able to read some of the larger writing on this ribbon. It says "SeaFair". |
| "Kennedy for President" sign on the car indicates the photo must have been taken some time leading up to the 1960 election. |

every direction, including 10 stories of ogling secretaries in
windows of nearby buildings.
He gamely patted crew-cut little heads and stretched over the
railing of the speaker's stand to shake hands and satisfy
autograph hunters.
Besides Sen. Jackson, Kennedy was flanked on the stand by
Gov. Albert D. Rosellini, Mayor and Mrs. Gordon S. Clinton,
George F. Kachlein Jr., president of Greater Seattle, and another
strikingly handsome member of the Kennedy clan, Mrs. Peter
Lawford, his sister.
THERE WAS SEAFAIR ROYALTY, too. And Queen of the
Seas Mary Jo Erickson handed the Senator a little something for
the expectant wife back in Hyannisport, Mass. — a white
knitted baby sweater with little booties.
For the story behind the sweater and booties, it should be
mentioned that these were hand-picked in a downtown shop by
Jack Gordon, father, Seafair emcee and publicity director for
Greater Seattle, Inc. Perfectionist Gordon went shopping
himself after Greater Seattle Secretaries Phyl Jasperson and Jean
DeVoe missed the mark.
KING NEPTUNE Rex XI (Ben E. Bowling) pinned a "Seafair
Star of Neptune" medal on the Kennedy lapel while Seafair
Prince of Mirth Tom Herbert waited near the shrubs for his big
moment—presentation of a petrified dinosaur bone.
Herbert never got close enough to make the presentation despite
a well-prepared script.
"I, as Prince of Mirth, of Seattle Seafair, dub thee, John F.
Kennedy, 'No Dub' and I hereby present thee with this bit of
200-million-year-old bone from a Monoclonius (Clown)
dinosaur."
GREATER SEATTLE resurrected the miniscule version of
Seafair as a meticulously nonpartisan "civic greeting" of the type
extended Nixon earlier. But, as in the Nixon greeting, partisan
politics reared its head. There were numerous "Kennedy for
President" hats, balloons and signs.
A NIXON MAN was nearly trampled when he went marching
through the crowd with a big "America Needs Nixon" placard.
Incensed Kennedyites tore the sign from the Nixon man and
severely jostled his companion, Republican Dick Bushnell, 3045-
3d Ave. W.
"This is a free country," Bushnell harrumphed, "and I'm on
public property. I'm certainly surprised they're such fanatics
about it."
Secretaries and others manning the nearby buildings windows
tossed homemade confetti out over the crowd, unmindful of
gobs here and there that splattered on the heads of secretaries
and others a few windows below.

As for speeches by dignitaries, they amounted to a capsulized history of what makes
Seattle and Washington State great.
George Kachlein talked of the 110 Seafair events, the parades and the unlimited
hydroplane game.
Mayor Clinton told Kennedy that Seattle has problems but Seattle is solving them.
Governor Rosellini described our defense plants, lumber industry and upcoming
Century 21 Exposition.
Senator Jackson praised Seattle's weather.
Senator Kennedy topped them all in a nine-minute speech in which he reminded every
citizen of Washington that our B17s, B47s, B50s and B52s make or have made the free
world stronger.
THEN, WITH THE efficiency that has marked the Kennedy organization, he concluded
his speech five minutes early, shook another round of hands, patted more heads,
handed out more autographs and, with the help of three muscular peace officers,
fought his way into the Olympic Hotel.

Seafair is a summer festival in Seattle,
Washington, USA that encompasses a
wide variety of small neighborhood events
leading up to several major city-wide
celebrations. While many small block
parties and local parades occur under the
auspices of Seafair, most Seattle residents
associate Seafair with the Torchlight
Parade (and accompanying Torchlight
Run), Seafair Cup hydroplane races, and
the Blue Angels. Seafair has been an
Washington, USA that encompasses a

leading up to several major city-wide
celebrations. While many small block
parties and local parades occur under the
auspices of Seafair, most Seattle residents
associate Seafair with the Torchlight
Parade (and accompanying Torchlight
Run), Seafair Cup hydroplane races, and
the Blue Angels. Seafair has been an
annual event in Seattle since 1950 but its roots can be traced to the 1911 Seattle Golden
Potlatch Celebrations.
Seafair begins in early July; since 1972, its arrival has been heralded by the Milk Carton
Derby, a whimsical boat race on Green Lake in which all the boats have been
constructed out of empty milk cartons.
The Seafair Half Marathon was added in 2002, and in 2005, the full 26.2 Marathon was
added. Participants can run or walk the 13.1 and 26.2 mile courses. Participants can
also run or walk a 5 km course. In 2009, the Seafair Marathon and Half Marathon were
replaced with the Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Marathon and Half Marathon.
The Seafair Triathlon is normally held the third week in July on the shores of Lake
Washington from Seward Park. It involves a half-mile swim, 12-mile bike ride, and 5
km run. Participants can compete individually or as a team.
The last weekend in July belongs to the Torchlight Parade and Torchlight Run. "Miss
Seafair" (prior to 1972, "Seafair Queen") plays a prominent role in the parade. It is
traditionally preceded by the Torchlight Run, a short (8 km) race through the city's
streets in which many participants run in costume.
One of the most popular events of Seafair is the Seafair Cup, which is an American
Boat Racing Association unlimited hydroplane racing circuit stop at Stan Sayres Pits on
Lake Washington in the Mount Baker neighborhood. The Seafair Cup races, at the end
of July or the beginning of August, attract tens of thousands of spectators, both those
standing on the public shores of the lake, and those in boats anchored just outside the
course in the lake itself. The same weekend, the Blue Angels are brought to Seattle to
perform their aerial stunts.
