John F. Kennedy Signed Photograph to Floyd Patterson (PSA)

John F. Kennedy Signed Photograph to Floyd Patterson (PSA)

What a thrill it must have been for 10-year-old Freddie Cicala to be hanging out with President John F. Kennedy and boxing champ Floyd Patterson at the White House on January 12, 1962. The president was greeting representatives of the Big Brothers Association in connection with Big Brothers Week, a cause that was dear to Patterson's heart. Kennedy signed the upper-right corner of the photo in black ink (8/10) to Patterson with the inscription reading "To Floyd Patterson, with Esteem and Best Wishes." Patterson - who had won the Olympic Gold Medal a decade earlier - reportedly remarked he was going to fight Sonny Liston despite the president's wishes that he didn't. 7x9".  Comes with PSA Letter.
