The following is an extract from the newly updated Declan Costello article
In 1950, Jacqueline Bouvier, later to become better known as Jackie Kennedy, was staying for a time in Ireland. She had befriended a Father Joseph Leonard, an elderly priest who lived in Drumcondra, Dublin. It was through Father Leonard that Bouvier was introduced to the Costello family. Bouvier had confessed to Father Leonard that she was seeking a husband at the time, and Leonard suggested that Declan, then 24 years old, would be a good match. Bouvier wrote to Leonard that Declan "sounds like absolute heaven" and that he would make a "suitable" husband. However, the match was never to come about as Bouiver continued her travels onwards to Scotland, and later returned to the United States while Costello married Joan Fitzsimons in 1953. Jacqueline would return to Ireland in 1955 as Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy alongside her new husband US Senator John FitzGerald Kennedy, whom she introduced to the Costello family. Jacqueline would later write in a private letter to Costello recalling a double date between the couples: "That night we dined at Jammet's and our happy marriage was nearly rent asunder because Jack was enchanted by Joan and I was enchanted with you -- but somehow we patched it all up at the movies" [1] [2] [3] [4]
— Declan Costello article
Do other editors feel a short synopsis of the above warrants inclusion in the College and early career subsection of Jackie's article, or would it be considered too trivial given the scope of her life? I'm not sure how many or how few credible suitors Jackie had before her first marriage. For reference, the "Costello" family mentioned above is the family of John A. Costello, who at the time was Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland. That is to say, the most politically powerful man in Ireland at the time. Also, while the above doesn't get into it, Jackie continued to correspond sporadically with both Father Joseph Leonard and Costello as late as the late 1960s, if that influences how people view whether this was trivial or significant relantionship.

Under the section RELATIONSHIP TO ROBERT F KENNEDY
"He credited *Kennedy* with convincing him to stay in politics..."
The reference to Kennedy can be confusing since there's several Kennedy's mentioned in the article.
I suggest changing it to...
"He credited *Jacqueline* with convincing him to stay in politics..." 50.5.111.73 ( talk) 07:17, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
Much of the article refers to her with the surname "Kennedy" rather than "Kennedy Onasis". The article should either have its title changed, or the body of the article should probably be corrected to refer to her as "Kennedy Onasis". SecretName101 ( talk) 00:02, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, there. I have reason to believe that this image is in the public domain and is a suitable replacement for the current one. Less light is concentrated on her face, not as blurry, et cetera.
That's all. Thanks. 71.184.82.123 ( talk) 02:10, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
