[edit] PT-109
When Max and Edward Kennedy Jr. were small, grandmother Rose would tell them the story of how their milk-drinking uncle, President John F. Kennedy, saved a member of his PT boat crew in World War II by towing him to an island. Max would return continue the legacy of his uncle by visiting Solomon Islands with Robert Ballard in 2002 to revisit the scene of the story of John F. Kennedy's PT-109. He presented a bust of the late president to Biuku Gasa and Eroni Kumana who were the native coastwatcher scouts who found the missing Kennedy and his crew.
