About
John G. F. "Jack" Speiden (March 4, 1900 − July 30, 1970) was an American stockbroker and ranch owner. Speiden fought in both World Wars, attended Yale and received a letter for football while playing on the hockey team, taught in China, worked on Wall Street, and bought a ranch. He ran for Congress for the 2nd District of Arizona in 1956 and 1958, but was defeated by Stewart Udall both times. Charlie Ohrel, who inherited most of the information about Speiden after his death, summed up Spieden's life with a humorous understatement: "He sure did give it a good shot". Speiden's ranch, the Jay Six Ranch, left a legacy of its own. The ranch played host to political figures like the young brothers Joseph & John F. Kennedy, and to senior statesman Barry Goldwater. The Kennedy brothers were sent out to the 40,000-acre (160 km) Jay Six Ranch in 1936 so that then 19-year-old Jack Kennedy could recuperate in the dry desert heat. It is reported that Speiden worked them both "very hard".
