I liked the mystery series that was written by Elliott Roosevelt with his mother as the sleuth. They almost always included some random historical characters. John F. Kennedy was in one of them set on a ship crossing the Atlantic and he assists Eleanor Roosevelt and the ship's detectives in solving a crime. Seems like Jack Benny was also on the ship as well as a few other famous people.<br /><br />I'll be looking for JACK 1939.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-49753556316197498502012-07-05T02:03:17.865-07:002012-07-05T02:03:17.865-07:00The era between the two "great wars" is ...The era between the two "great wars" is so fascinating to me...and the Kennedys & the Roosevelts were major influences during that period of time.
