Ted Kennedy's passing: A sad day indeed.

As many of you know, I grew up in Boston and when I was a kid, I use to shovel snow for the Kennedy's Mom. It is a sad day indeed to lose Senator Ted Kennedy. He is the last of the great Kennedy's of my generation, with Eunice, Ted's sister, dying only a few weeks ago. I remember when Jack was assassinated. All of Dorchester, a suburb south of Boston, as well as the rest of the country mourned his loss and were infuriated at the way it happened. Then the assassination of his brother Bobby, another tragedy and great loss for our country. And now we lose the last of a band of brothers who so loved this country and devoted themselves to the betterment of society while they were alive. Yes, Teddy will be missed by all of those who benefited from their generosity and kindness. I will miss him too and the family's contribution to the welfare and well being of society. The only ones who will not miss him is the far Right of the Republican party. They will quietly be dancing in the streets, as Teddy was a thorn in many of their sides, and thank God he was.
