TV Radio Mirror (Jan - Jun 1963)

It was the year Jackie found herself, in terms of public life. Soon Jack was answering questions not connected with Government with a proud, "Ask Jackie." It was a nice feeling. Tenth year . . . Jackie felt more secure than ever. With her little family growing, with the White House redecorating well under way, with Jack in full command of the political situation, she was enjoying life. Of course, she still couldn't cope with political shenanigans, and she still couldn't see why she didn't have the right of complete privacy outside of official functions. But she did enjoy one victory over "the outside" when she was able to keep her pregnancy a secret until Easter Week, when she was in her fifth month. She went to Cape Cod to rest while awaiting the child who was to be her tenth-anniversary gift for her beloved husband. Everyone knew the danger she faced in having another Caesarean . . . but Jackie's own serenity throughout this period was an inspiration to all around her. The great love Jack and Jackie share was about to be put to a tragic test . . . and not found wanting. No one can know the depth of their grief, when wee Patrick Bouvier Ken DINA MERRILL (Continued from page 61) Stanley, a Marine combat pilot, had just returned from overseas duty. Something about the tone of his voice sounded different than she remembered. He didn't sound "sarcastic"; he didn't say anything "snide." On an impulse, when he asked for a date, she said, "Yes." The man who called for her was a stranger, the most exciting stranger she'd ever met! Of course, when she was thirteen, his adult humor had been way over her head. Now that she understood it, his humor was subtle and charming. There wasn't a single solitary "horrible" thing about him! From thirteen to eighteen, Dina had grown up. She proceeded to fall madly in love with him. And she was forever-sure. He gave no sign of having fallen just as madly in love with her. In fact, he would tell her very frankly of Mamie — another girl he was dating. He'd take Dina out to dinner at six, drop her off at the theater, call for Mamie, and they'd go dancing. How Mamie felt we'll never know, but Dina wasn't at all sure she'd win her man. Once Stanley asked her to go to a prom. Presumably, he knew she couldn't attend, because the date conflicted with her performance. Crestfallen, she reminded Stan of that fact. He said, looking not at all crestfallen, "Too bad. I'll take Mamie." And so far as Dina knew, he did. Dina says she'll never know whether Stan was deliberately playing the two nedy was born almost six weeks prematurely . . . too frail to survive on this earth. But all who have seen these two marvel at the strength they showed . . . the consolation they derived from knowing he had been baptized in the faith which means so much to them both. . . . This will not be the happy anniversary of which Jack and Jackie dreamed — but the eleventh year of marriage still lying ahead of them will be a most meaningful one. This is the year he must prepare to seek re-election in 1964, the year he must make vital decisions about nuclear weapons, Russia, Cuba, DeGaullc;, Laos, integration. It is the year for decisions that will make history. In his great moments of aloneness, his anguish will be softened by the knowledge that he has a loving, patient wife. She is the wife who risked her life five times to bring him children by Caesarean operation. She is the woman who made life bearable when he was wracked with pain and desperately ill, the wife who brought him solace after tough political campaigns, who turned a vast White House into a cozy home, who bore his children, the children he loves so much. September 12th, 1963 ... a milestone. Ten years lived, and a lifetime ahead. — Paul Denis of them against each other, or whether he was simply dating Mamie to arouse her jealousy. She doesn't really know — or care— whether there ever, really, was a "Mamie." Stan has never "confessed." Nor has Dina ever been able to discover whether, during this period, he was torn by indecision. What she does know is that, the day he proposed to her, she said, "Yes." Firmly and promptly. When he said, "But you'll have to give up acting," she said, "Of course." She told herself: "This is it. Truly. I know. I want to give up the career I've wanted so much and for so long! At last, I have found my love." A "perfect" marriage And so they were married — the beautiful blond girl and the dark, handsome man Dina had once said looked like a Cherokee Indian. And there was a magic in their lives, a glow of happiness about it. Their togetherness was everything Dina had ever dreamed of. A brilliant executive and an idealist, Stanley Rumbough Jr. became a top industrialist, a director of the Young Presidents' Organization, co-founder of Young Citizens for Eisenhower, a Presidential aide, a member of the White House staff and a director and consultant to international business organizations. Because of Stan's enthusiasm for athletic activities, the formerly non-athletic Dina, with Stan's instructions, became part of what her dad had wanted her to be — an excellent tournamenttennis player, a golfer and a skier . . . so that she could enjoy more time and leave%% its Mark Keep your tight,? dry skin smooth and SOft With MOTHERS FRIEND.
