I glimpsed him briefly. He was tan (not orange) and had beautiful white teeth. I will never forget that Kennedy smile. He was riding on the top of the back seat in a convertible, between two other men. It was in Detroit somewhere, wish I could remember more; I was very young, but I'll never forget that smile.
