John F. Kennedy Signed Program Nebraska Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner

Vintage program page, 7 x 9.75, for the Nebraska Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner held on May 17, 1957, at the Sheraton-Fontenelle Hotel in Omaha, where Kennedy gave an address, signed in blue ballpoint by Kennedy. Note that since the prime rib dinner was on a Friday, printed along the bottom is the disclaimer, “Dispensation from law of abstinence for Catholics has been granted.” In fine condition, with a couple small newspaper remnants to signed side, and some light adhesive remnants to reverse. Kennedy had just begun to campaign nationally for the 1960 presidential nomination after narrowly losing the vice presidential nomination in 1956. RR Auction COA.
