Whether you agree with his politics or not, the man had the good to the people at heart with his devotion for so long to public service. RIP.

I agree, Kay.  No one can dispute the amount of work he put behind his ideas.  I think I heard that even tho he held the 3rd longest term, he did more with his time in the senate than any one has.

I was reading too about how much behind the scenes work he did with families of 9/11 in his state that was kept from the prying eyes of the press to help them recover. Bless him, a sad loss indeed.

Her name was Mary Jo Kopechne. There's a memoir coming out he wrote and the Chappaquiddick incident is in that, Christine. I was reading about that today.

quote:

In a memoir being published posthumously, Senator Edward M. Kennedy talks remorsefully about the car accident that claimed the life of Mary Jo Kopechne – a turn of events many consider a chief reason that he was never able to mount a successful bid for the presidency.

Writing in his book “True Compass,” which is scheduled to be published on Sept. 14, Mr. Kennedy, who died a week ago, described his actions in the 1969 accident as “inexcusable” and said that at the time he was afraid, overwhelmed “and made terrible decisions.”

Mr. Kennedy said he had to live with the guilt of his actions for four decades but that Ms. Kopechne’s family had to endure worse. “Atonement is a process that never ends,” he writes.
