...circle has been secretive and worse about his health. While preparing his 1993 book President Kennedy: Profile of Power, Richard Reeves requested access to J.F.K.'s medical records but was refused. He did succeed in interviewing the surgeons who performed the 1954 back operation, as well as Dr. Hans Kraus, who oversaw J.F.K.'s physical therapy in the last months of his presidency.

He married, had three kids and was widowed in 1993. A few months later, at a friend's urging, Kraus called Shipley, who instantly recognized her voice and agreed to come see her in Tulsa. When they met on her front porch, they threw their arms around each other. Both saw the same person they had loved, just older. Six months later, they married...
