Today marks the 10th anniversary of the death of John F. Kennedy, Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister Lauren Bessette. On July 16, 1999, a Piper Saratoga aircraft piloted by Kennedy crashed just off the coast of Martha's Vineyard. John F. Kennedy, Jr. was the son of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. He was also the founder of George Magazine, a popular political magazine that served as an "irreverent monthly guide to the people and the process of politics and public issues." (MagazineCity) Unfortunately, the magazine did not survive long after the death of its founder.
John F. Kennedy, Jr. served as a political presence, in spite of his seeming disinterest in being a politician or official politico.
