40 years ago today.
Bobby Kennedy was assasinated....Although I wasn't alive when he was living, he's been an inspiration for me and today is sort of a hard day because it's in the back of my mind.





SO HERE'S TO YOU BOBBY!!! :toast:

1. PBS was running a documentary on RFK last night.
I could only bring myself to watch part of it, simply because I knew what was coming.

2. Yeah, very difficult. The end of innocence for me. I had just graduated
from college and was home. I was watching him give that speech and then I was watching the chaos. It was late and no one else was home, or if they were, they were asleep. I sat there and didn't know how to feel...during those formative years for me, we had lost JFK, MLK and Bobby. We had an awful war, an awful President and a worse one to come.
