I'm so glad I got to know him too. Lots of funny moments but best memory - me as 21 year old new Senate staffer with a Make A Wish boy I was helping literally dying in my boss' office while the boss was in Africa and Senator Kennedy coming to my rescue - that day and every day until the boy died on Christmas Day. I'm very fond of Patrick too and had one great summer working with John Jr. Remarkable family. We should all be so generous with our time.... Love those stories! I’m so glad I got to know him too.

Kennedy, all the tributes coming in and the remarkable record in public service on so many issues of social justice, and his clear unwavering patriotism for America coupled with a basic understanding that their is also a greater global brotherhood, and we are in this all together. The sadness was almost too much to bear. Your words and the stories you shared however, make me less sad, have given me the first chance to smile in these last couple of days when I think about Sen Kennedy. I don't need to think anymore "how sad", now I can think "how amazing he was." Best wishes, Ken Okoth Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania Dear Ted –
