  • What has happened to the original JFK memorial that stood in the Rose Gardens in Letchworth, all I can see online is what appears to be the block from the top of the memorial, put on to an onyx block.
    This is not the Kennedy memorial!!!!! What has been done with the rest of it?
    If there has been interference with a memorial, this is abominable.
