John Curtis Kennedy

I found a photograph of John Curtis Kennedy!





















I have several of his beautiful wife Annabelle. http://mygrandmasoldfamilyphotos.blogspot.com/2010/02/annabelle-van-horn-kennedy.html
I've been longing to see him. This photo is on the cover of The Darrow-Kennedy Debate: Will Socialism Save the World? that I found at an online used bookstore. http://www.betweenthecovers.com/btc/item/285433/ . The page won't allow "save picture as" and $350.00 for the pamphlet seems steep. So, I've been searching for a cheaper copy.

Luckily, this site popped up in a search recently http://darrow.law.umn.edu/photo.php?pid=349 -- so at least I have an electronic copy.
