I’m so jaded that I tend to think all politicians’ responses and statements are suspect at some level. Bobby Kennedy’s career (and personal life) by some historical accounts apparently had its darkness too, but Spring of ‘68 …man, what a spark of hope until it all crashed.
My parents took our family to the Des Moines Airport when RFK arrived for this visit. The recent news about his goofy son got me to thinking about how important that visit was to me and my family. This article was a refreshing walk down memory lane and took away some of the negative points of today.

Wonderful anecdote about your brush with history, and what you learned from it! Thank you!
Superb writing. Full. Stop.
