Senator Edward Kennedy Dead....

Just a very brief post to honor the late great Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.  I was fortunate enough to attend a lecture of his at the University of Hawaii back around 1980 or so.  He was in fine fettle and exuded compassion and composure.  Just a real deal of a human being.

He gave us so much.  And so much was taken from him over the years.  The loss of his brothers, the lobotomizing of his sister Rosemary, the death of his nephew John Kennedy...the list goes on and on.

So this day, the old man of the street, will be thinking of Teddy and holding him close.

Rest in peace, old boy.
