Maria Shriver said today that her mother "wore men's trousers, smoked Cuban cigars, and played tackle football." What's not to like about this lady? More than anyone else she changed--for the better--the way mentally handicapped people are seen in the world. Her work was great and she didn't misspend a moment of her 88 years. I'm sorry Eunice Kennedy Shriver has left this life.
Of Joe and Rose Kennedy's nine children only two are now left--Jean and Ted, and he was unable to attend his sister's funeral today. A page of American history is being turned on Cape Cod and it is fair to say that we won't see another family like this one again. Well done, Eunice, and all of you.
