President Kennedy in Bridgeport November 5, 1960 

 

By Mary Witkowski 

 

The crowd of 6,000 came to see then Senator John F. Kennedy.  The crowd,as estimated by Superintendent of Police Francis J. Shanley, cheered Kennedy as he said that Connecticut was a key state in the election.

"The nation will have its eyes on Connecticut," Kennedy told the crowd.
