Souvenir typescript, signed “Gerard E. Zinser,” one page on a white 8.5 x 11 card, no date. Zinser, the last surviving crew member of the PT-109 incident that ultimately elevated JFK to the status of a military hero, recalls Kennedy’s actions. In part: “Kennedy towed … McMahon about one hour getting him back to the part of the boat that was still floating…. When the collision occurred it aggravated his back, but he kept from showing he was hurting. In all my 20 years of Naval service I met many good officers, but none could equal John F. Kennedy.” Signed at the bottom in blue ballpoint by Zinser. In fine condition. R&R COA.
