During Kennedy's term, not quite a year before he was assassinated.

Eisenhower's 6th month. A somewhat related story. My mother-in-law, who passed before I met my wife, came from a family that had a number of career military officers. Her father who taught at several military colleges (my wife's grandfather) happened to be Ike's next door neighbor in officers housing in the 30's at Ft. Leavenworth.
When my in-laws were being married in 1947 they had the wedding at West Point, where my father-in-law had graduated (Class of '45, a lucky guy for sure). The morning of the wedding, my wife's grandfather happened to go to the PX for some incidentals and ran into Ike there. They hadn't seen each other for almost a decade. He told the future President what he was there for and casually invited him to the wedding. Sure enough, he and his wife came to the celebration. Eisenhower was giving the Commencement speech later that day, that was why he was there.
Ike first term. Kennedy was the first president I remember but that is most likely because of the assassination.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Very early Eisenhower. I remember him and very well remember the 1960 election race between Nixon and Kennedy.

Born during the Kennedy administration. I was 3 when he died, and can remember my mother being extremely upset over it.
