One of my fondest memories is being a "Kennedy Girl". I was too young to vote for JFK but was a campaign volunteer at the Tabernacle when he spoke there. I was invited to a function at the Hotel Utah where I met and talked with Ted and Joan Kennedy. Heady stuff for a nineteen year old. I had other experiences with the family members when I worked at the Cape Cod Hospital. Eunice Shriver, straight out of her garden with an amazing emerald ring and my staff who could only comment on her dirty finger nails. Ethel Kennedy's child having tonsils out and creating a three ring circus on the pediatric ward. Hannisport, what a elegant place. I never could be cynical about them and truly appreciate the contributions of this star crossed family.
sweet memories Dale.
