A brilliant illustration, to say the least.

The image.....­.brilliant and so full of meanings and values.

Worthy of an award.

Ted: Flawed human.....just like me.

But managed to rise above his faults to accomplish something great.

Brilliant, Mr. Danziger.

I recall my mother crying when JFK died, and again when Bobby Kennedy passed. Like many, I remember where I was when they left us. And now I have another bittersweet memory of a time and a place.

Rest well, Senator. Thank you.

As soon as I saw that image, I burst into tears. May the lion sleep well.

Here comes the tears now. This has to be the most moving depiction I have seen in a long time. Uncle Teddy is gone now.

Walt Whitman seems appropriate now:

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

The Kennedy boys have the sails full out today in heaven!

Joe Jr, Jack, Bobby, and finally Ted. Thank you for giving your life to public service.

I haven't cried this much in a long time...this poignant illustration releases the floodgates. A very public--and personal for so many of us--piece of history--of a special time and place...before HMOs and HCAs...when running water was still clean enough to drink from the garden hose...before Risk Management, Human Resources, and Stop-Loss Analysis...before Big Media, Big Pharma, and oligarchy...

The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ev­er-afterin­g than here
In Camelot.

May all the Kennedys now rest in peace. Godspeed.

Family of 9, with four sons. Only one got to live a full life.

The other three died in service to their country.

Godspeed, Ted.

There's ONE undeniable fact about the Kennedy Brothers:

The 3 on the sailboat GAVE their lives for this great country; the fourth....

DEDICATED his life to making all of ours better !
