The Last of the Kennedy Brothers

It seems so amazing to watch the last few days in contemporary American
history as the country pays respect to Edward M. Kennedy, the youngest
of the 9 children of Joseph and Rose. This family has a storied history,
from the late 1920's through today. We all know the litany of events
including JFK and RFK, but I have been amazed at the outpouring of
respect and admiration for a man, who in his early years was looked on
with disdain, ambivalence, and mistrust by the general public. After
all, one could only know 'Teddy' by the news reports, which were not
positive at all. Listening to his family, friends, and colleagues, a
different picture emerges. One could say, thank goodness for Ted Kennedy
and his affect on the life of Americans today.
