Hi Mike, Back from the Wedding... Kennedy suffered from Addison's Disease which is the withering away of the Adrenal gland, It was fatal until a british doctor discovered cortisone treatment in 1940. The cortisone injections were what made Kennedy's face appear very puffy in some pictures. Kennedy was the first person in the world with Addison's disease to ever survive invasive surgery ( he had back surgery in 1954 and was in the hospital for 9 months.) Richard Reeves who has written an excellent biography of JFK, talked about these issues in the book and on C-SPAN several years ago. pbs.org pbs.org It's very cool the people that Chip has known in his days! John
