As I looked through pictures of the Kennedys from the early sixties I kept coming across pictures of a cute little boy with dark hair. Who was this kid who wasn't John-John but was in photographs with Jackie? I found out it was Anthony Radziwill, son of Jackie's sister Lee. His father was Polish Prince Stanislas Radziwill. Anthony was very close to his aunt and cousins and became John-John's best friend. Anthony  became a respected television executive and filmmaker. He developed metastasized testicular cancer in his thirties and fought it for many years. Anthony served as John's best man at his secret wedding to Carolyn Bessette. Carol Radziwill, Anthony's wife, was one of the first to hear of John and Carolyn's disappearance  in the summer of 1999.  Anthony notified the family, spoke at the memorial service in the last stages of his cancer. A week after his best friend's burial at sea, Anthony passed away at age forty.
