Let me tell you all about The Kennedy Kids. Namely Michael Edward “Peter” Kennedy III and his sister Karol Estelle Kucher Kennedy. Together they took the figure skating world by storm in the 40’s and 50’s. They won five United States Figure Skating Championship titles from 1948-1952. Impressive! Here, check out this picture of them in action, dressed rather casually. I’d say they were having a Sunday afternoon skate. Idyllic.

Before today I had never heard of The Kennedy Kids, however, after spending some time looking through Mikael Kennedy’s work here, I decided I would see just how many famous Kennedy’s there were, by any spelling. I knew of course that there were likely to be many, hence the nature of my search, however, I was determined to find a new hero. I didn’t bargain for a pair. The Kennedy Kids are, in case you hadn’t already guessed it, top of my list of Kennedy’s.

I had hoped to place whoever I discovered second to the fantastically talented Mikael Kennedy, but you know what, I shall let TKK’s bask in the glory today, for I am sure Mikael hasn’t peaked just yet. Polaroids and Odysseus
