Powers' daughter, Mary, was not at home and could not be reached for comment Friday. Dan Meader, of John McInnis Auctioneers, played down ownership concerns. "You have to remember they've donated so much stuff through the years," Meader said. "These are their own private things and the Powers family ... loves the JFK Library and they want to do anything they can do to preserve that legacy that their father started." Meader said he did not know how much the auction is likely to generate or the estimated total value of the items being sold. The auctioneer's highest estimate was for the bomber jacket, at $20,000 to $40,000, while some lots were estimated in the $50 to $100 range. The memorabilia, Meader said, has generated interest from all over the world. People from Ireland, United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico, South Africa, Canada, Australia, United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands and elsewhere have already registered to bid, he said. ___ Online:
