My mother took my sister and me to see John and Bobby at a shopping center where they were campaigning when we were very young. It seems like yesterday and I'll never forget it. I was traumatized by their murders. The family had so many successes, tragedies , and scandals. I was mesmerized by them.
The clan was progressive. The turning point was when Joe K III lost the senate election in their home state.
That shocked me.
You were so fortunate to have seen them in person. I was home sick watching the parade live when JFK was assassinated. Losing the heroes of our time was very traumatizing.
I actually saw Bobby twice. They were both so good looking. I even knew that as a child. I was traumatized as well.
I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with my first child, the pregnancy hormones were running rampant, it was traumatizing then too.
Yes, I remember it all so vividly.
