Thread Name: Respectful discussion of Edward Kennedy
Subject: RE: Respectful discussion of Edward Kennedy
The most moving part of the human element, to me, was the eulogy given by his son, Teddy. I remember so well when it became public that he had a cancer in his leg and then had that leg amputated. If I recall correctly, the boy was only 12 at the time.

So hearing what he had to say about those days and the approach his father used was moving.

I am very grateful that the last of the Kennedy boys was not assassinated. That would have been almost more than any family could bear.
