On October 19th, 1963, President John F. Kennedy delivered a speech and received an Honorary Doctorate of Laws at the University of Maine. This was the last honorary degree that JFK ever received. President Kennedy was assassinated only 33 days following this occasion – on November 22, 1963.
To commemorate President Kennedy’s visit to the University of Maine 48 years ago, we are holding a special Recognition Dinner near the site of his speech to remember and to pay homage to President Kennedy. It is hoped that this will be the first of many Recognition Dinners to be held annually at the University of Maine in honor of President Kennedy.
On this occasion, we also will be recognizing three individuals who have made significant contributions to the Democratic Party, in the nation, in the State of Maine, and in Penobscot County. This year, we are very proud to be honoring:
