The items to be auctioned are part of the estate of David F. Powers, who was a close friend as well as Special Assistant to former President John F. Kennedy. Powers traveled with Kennedy from the beginning of his political career through the president's assassination in 1963. Powers became the first curator of the JFK Library, where he served until he retired from the position in 1994. Powers' family discovered the pieces as they prepared the family home for sale.
