The man at the center of a John F. Kennedy mystery is revealing new details, including his name and his birthday — an astonishing date should he indeed be related to the Kennedy clan.Jack Worthington agreed to this, but only after his name was revealed by a Vancouver, B.C., publication. He had been speaking with The Globe and Mail of Toronto over the past few days on condition of anonymity.The British Columbia man is asking the Kennedys to provide a DNA sample so tests can be run to determine whether there is a match with the 35th president of the United States.President Kennedy was assassinated Nov. 22, 1963 — Worthington’s second birthday. He presented a U.S. passport, Canadian visitor’s visa and driver’s license indicating his date of birth.If he is JFK’s son, he would have been conceived in the early days of the presidency, about a month after Kennedy wowed the world with the words, “ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.”

Caroline Kennedy, the one surviving child of JFK and his wife, Jacqueline, was born in 1957. The couple’s first child, a daughter, was stillborn in 1956. John F. Kennedy Jr. was born Nov. 25, 1960, about a year before Worthington. Patrick, who died when he was 2 days old, was born in August 1963. John F. Kennedy Jr. was killed in a plane crash, along with his wife, Carolyn Bessette, on July 16, 1999.
