JFK autograph - opinions

I obtained this autograph from a collector who knew Robert White (was mentored by White) for over 20 years. I believe it's authentic but would like your opinions. Thank you.

Steve why don't you give me a call, I am just helping collectors with my opinion, you and I should probably talk. There are so many forgeries out there and not everyone can afford a $150 to $300 JSA or PSA opinion. Just trying to give back to the community. I sure did not see you give your expertise on this one, or offer to buy it like I did.

How are you associated with this autograph?

There appear to be several points of hesitation before, during and after some letters rather than a smooth application. It looks uneasy.

Eric my offer to purchase this item still stands. It's OK to agree to disagree agreeably. Are you the History Professor?

I thought you were a University History Professor I met some time ago at a

convention,he is actually Erik Longo, my mistake. I am tired of this, I gave my

opinion, I offered to purchase this item. Ask someone else reputable give their

opinion. Herman Darvick is a leader in the industry, he can put this to

rest. Herman in my opinion is the best qualified source on Historical

items. Steve Grad is also very good.

Small world. I work with history, museums, authentication and publishing among other things - I was not sure just what you meant.

Eric, I am a big History fan, my great uncle has written many Historical Works, over 30 books. Sometimes we should talk.

Herman Darvick has already commented on this, no? If I recall correctly it was not positive. I'd have to look to be certain.

Eric I will look, if Herman said that it was not positive, I will stand corrected.

Yes, it is in his comments. November 11. It doesn't appear to be a positive opinion.

Eric I did not see it, does he go by a different name? I have been wrong before, and if Herman says it is not good I will take his opinion over mine. Now if PSA said it was not good, I would still question it since Steve left. My apologies if Herman said it was not good. I should have looked before responding, my mistake, that should have been the end of conversation. If the person that posted this signature purchased this item, you can reference this with Herman response and demand your money back. If you did not purchase the item, based on Herman's opinion pass. He is by far the best out there, Steve Grad a close second.
