AMESBURY, Mass. JFK memorabilia fetches nearly $2M

A private collection of John F. Kennedy memorabilia brought in almost $2 million at auction, including $570,000 for the former president's Air Force One bomber jacket.

The collection of about 2,000 photos, documents and other items was auctioned Sunday at John McInnis Auctioneers.

The items belonged to David Powers, Kennedy's assistant and close personal friend who died in 1998.

The jacket, like many of the items, sold to an anonymous bidder for much more than expected.
