That means this is the 20th anniversary of me and my friends trying to leave school to go camping while Laurie Dann ran all over town. 20 years...yeesh.
So THAT'S what happens to Kennedys when they die of natural causes...
i'm sad about ted kennedy.
As there will be no limit of the out pouring of grief for Teddy, allow me to personally feel nothing. If however he was some working stiff from Boston named John Smith, then I would feel sorry for him. Every time I saw him, I always felt sad about his two brothers slain down for being so courageous. Teddy got where he is toda because of his name. He also reminds me of leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to drown and of course getting plastered with his nephew before he( Will
Kennedy Smith) raped a woman, a crime Teddy
probably covered up.
So...
"has any body here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill,
With Abraham, Martin and John....."

Well said.
