Let’s Cook: Challenges and Candor
By Chuck Repnow - | Jan 30, 2021
How many of you have kept a scrapbook on an interesting subject? I once knew a woman who kept a matchbook cover from every restaurant she had patronized. She was near age 80 when she showed it to me, and it was massive. She had organized the matchbook covers according to states, and she had visited all 50 states. It certainly was an impressive collection, and as we looked over her collection, she entertained me with stories about travels. It set a fire within me to start a scrapbook.
Upon returning home, I mentioned to my parents that I would like to start a scrapbook on an interesting subject. I finally settled on U. S. Presidents and First Ladies. Their introduction to my scrapbook would start with their Inauguration. The year was 1969 and Richard M. Nixon became the 37th President of the United States.

1961: Jacqueline Kennedy
Jacqueline Kennedy, 1961
For President John F. Kennedy s Inauguration Ball, Jacqueline Kennedy wore a white gown and cape that she designed herself in collaboration with Bergdorf Goodman s Ethan Frankau. She was making a statement by having such an input on her look, and deliberately chose white so that she would stand out in black and white photographs at the time. Underneath the cape, the dress featured a sheer overlay panel and a strapless bodice. There was some sparkle, but the overall lack of embellishment marked the arrival of 1960s monochrome, and a contrast to Mrs Eisenhower s 1950s bling.
