By now everyone has heard that Ted Kennedy has died of his brain cancer,after surviving for more than a year from the first diagnosis.......
but how's this for a weird stat.////he was the only one of the four brothers to die of Natural Causes :
Kennedy arrived at his place in the Senate after a string of family tragedies. He was the only one of the four Kennedy brothers to die of natural causes.
Kennedy's eldest brother, Joseph, was killed in a plane crash in World War II. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas in 1963. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down in Los Angeles as he campaigned for the 1968 Democratic presidential nomination
.hmmmmmm just a thought but I wonder if he now gets to apologise to MaryJo ???

I think the Mary Jo comment is alittle below the belt, Les. Let's just remember him as a great patriotic American from an iconic family. All part of History and like us all, he accomplished good things during his life and also made tragic mistakes that he had to live with. That's the human condition....Diane
just a thought Diane,(as I mentioned) & it was based on fact,-------she's dead ,and noone reported the 'accident' for 10 hours ,----and if there is such a thing as 'meeting up again',I wondered if an apology was in the offing..... I also didn't say he didn't try to do good things with his career later in life ,since he was fortunate enough to have one.
ps: I like your new avatar,..........................................cheers !! HF&RV
Yes, of course we all know it was fact, but we weren't there, we weren't responsible, we weren't traumatized by the tragedy. Yes, of course he made a dreadful mistake as any of us could have in the same situation. Naturally we would all like to think we would be honourable and report the accident immediately, but I bet you ten to one a good many people would have done the same thing because of fear, panic, shock and the absolute devastation to all concerned. I'm sure on a personal level, Ted Kennedy would have been affected deeply about his neglectful cause of death of a friend. Now let him Rest in Peace....Diane
and if there is such a thing as 'meeting up again',I wondered if an apology was in the offing
...............................................................................Saint Les, Bless You ...lol
St. Les, sure hope you go to confession on a regular basis, recite your Hail Marys and offer your apologies for any of your wrong doings while here on Earth! No guarantees there's any "meeting up again", so best we all get on with correcting our mistakes here and now!....Diane
Amen : now say 15 act of contritions,....................................................never mind:...lol HF&RV
I wouldn't know how....I'm an ex-Protestant!....have a great day Les....Diane
I'm a recovering catholic,........with ties to no gangs,.....lol HF&RV
i just heard on the CTV national news,that the Kennedy Summer Home may become a museum,Now that would be interesting to see,Camelot has been in the family for around 80 years,& just the presence of history would surely be felt....not to mention that the whole area ,is beautiful.
