I shall be in touch with you again as soon as I receive a report. Assuring you of my wish to be of all possible assistance to Miss D'Ambrosio and with kindest personal regards.". Anthony Gallucio and John F. Kennedy were classmates at Harvard. Galluccio's son was the Mayor of Cambridge, Massachusetts (2000-2001). Galluccio who worked as a full-time staff member to get Kennedy elected to the Senate. Once Kennedy was in the Senate, Galluccio, an attorney, contacted him on behalf of people seeking recommendations for employment, immigration visas, and other matters.
