Ted Kennedy: Coincidence and Gratitude
http://themoderatevoice.com/ politics/ ted-kennedy/ 19776/ ted-kennedy-a-coincidence...
Following the news of Senator Kennedy's diagnosis, the reactions are predictably swift and sure, respectful and concerned. As they should be. Oddly enough, I was at a high-school groundbreaking ceremony just this morning, where my son had the honor of introducing videotaped messages from none other than Sen. Kennedy and his son Patrick, a U.S. Congressman from Rhode Island. Several months ago, when we started planning for this event - designed to kick-off renovations enabled by the first capital campaign in the school's 40-year history - we had hoped one or both of the Congressional Kennedys could be there in person.
