Forever Young My Friendship with John F. Kennedy, Jr.

A uniquely intimate portrait of John F. Kennedy, Jr., from his closest friend For twenty-five years, William Noonan and John F. Kennedy, Jr., were best friends. Sharing an adolescence in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, the two frequented beach bonfires and the Monday night yacht-club dances, took road trips, shared albums, sneaked cigarettes on the widows walk of Johns house, and scored beer together. And as they grew older, John and Billy never lost the connection they forged in the Kennedy compound as two young boys who had both tragically lost their fathers. A humble and touching memoir, "Forever Young" uncovers the private John F. Kennedy, Jr., from the matchless vantage point of a longtime childhood friend. "Forever Young" is packed with never-revealed details of John and Carolyn Bessettes courtship and wedding, the launch of "George," Johns unusually close relationship with his mother Jackie, and the heartbreaking aftermath of the plane crash off Marthas Vineyard that killed John, Carolyn, and Carolyns sister. Noonan also shares the more ribald episodes, including Johns many famous conquests, skirmishes with paparazzi, and his stint as "People"s Sexiest Man Alive. The definitive story of the son of Camelot, "Forever Young" is a touching and revelatory tribute to a friendship between two menand a life cut devastatingly short.Noonan, William Sylvester is the author of 'Forever Young My Friendship with John F. Kennedy, Jr.', published 2006 under ISBN 9780670038107 and ISBN 0670038105.
