16. "His swing through South Dakota"

That's where I remember seeing him. Actually I just remember waiting to see him at the airport with a large crowd. Don't actually remember seeing him. Swinging through South Dakota at all is kind of a waste of time when it comes to seeking votes. Even McGovern could not carry his own state in a Presidential election, although, strangely enough, Carter came close, and then promptly threw South Dakota under the bus in the name of deficit reduction.

As I understand it, RFK stopped at my hometown because it was also a hometown for the current Vice President, one Hubert H. Humphrey.
