?1525029559I was working his campaign at the age of 11. I don't think I will ever get over losing such a promising man to lead this country.
We need another Bobby desperately right now.

The Tet Offensive, MLK, RFK......
And people wonder why I have no memory of the moon landing, which I've been told happened in 1968.

As in first name basis for years. The photo I inherited of Bobby was inscribed to my dad "with high regard."
His killing was a low blow. History would have taken a turn for the better if he had been elected president in 1968.
