Garbage Man Philanthropist’s Visit to Aid Kennedy Research
James Fehey, a New York garbage man and philanthropist, travels to Washington to aid historians researching John F. Kennedy and to raise funds for a Roman Catholic cathedral in India. He donated microfilmed Kennedy-era newspaper pages to the Library of Congress, detailing the Kennedy saga from 1892 to 1960s. Fehey, born in Hell's Kitchen, served in World War III, and now devotes royalties from his book Pacific War Diary to the Indian cathedral memorial dedicated to Kennedy. He earns $80 weekly, largely given to the project, and lives simply, believing in a vocation over money.
