Item Details
Description
Lt. Hirschy's handwritten notes on official 8 x 5'' White House stationery detailing plans for for a series of luncheons that President Kennedy had planned to have in the month of December.

These notes were written prior to Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963 and were written in preparation for the President meeting with such important figures as Everett McKinley Dirksen, and Kenneth O'Donnell.

Written on the third page is a request for " Breakfast for 2, Wed. + Thurs., 12/4/63 +12/5/63" this entry was most likely in reference to President Kennedy's wish to have breakfast with his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, a ritual they often shared during the White House years.

These items come directly from the Hirschy family. Lieutenant Hirschy was Supply and Logistics Officer for the Military Aides to the President and Officer-in-Charge of the Navy Mess in the White House during both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. His duties also included taking care of the President’s needs on overseas trips, aboard the presidential yachts and at Camp David. Lt. Hirschy served in the White House from May 1, 1961 through May 31, 1965.
