Reading about Mrs.Evelyn Lincoln's career as JFK's personal confidante and secretary a couple of years back, it seems that she had complete confidence in her boss and he in her. I also read that she obtained most of the very personal effects of JFK, kept at the White House Oval Office area, upon takeover by LBJ. She was instructed to box up all of Jack's personal effects by his brother, Atty. Gen Bob Kennedy.Ole Big Ears Lyndon, was so anxious to occupy the Oval Office and personal residence area of the White House he arranged for the moving trucks to show up the day after Kennedy's state funeral services. He personally told Mrs. Lincoln to get her damned stuff boxed and out of the Oval Office area by days end, so his people could move in and get to work. Only asking Bob Kennedy for a little extra time to carefully pack up the Kennedy papers, andmementos did she gain an extra day of time. We all know or can guess Lyn was a lying devious SOB most of his life and could not tell the truth, lying came more naturally to his nature.
