It was the assignment for the evening that day to watch the goings on in Southern Calif. for the night and the hoped for election of Robert F. Kennedy (by the teacher that is).

I remember that night, I did my duty and stayed up to watch what was going on that evening after RFK won Calif.

And then came that shot and the screams that RFK had been shot.

My parents were in bed and I went and knocked on their bedroom door and they awoke and asked me why was I bothering them so very late. I told them that RFK had been shot.

They both got up at once and ran into the living room to watch the TV and see what was going on and they both broke down and cried when they heard he was dead.

Some things you never forget in life and watching that evil Sirhan Sirhan get cuffed and taken away was not nearly justice enough.

I had not realized at the age of 11 years what a huge loss RFK was. It was beyond a huge loss, RFK would have changed America I believe in hindsight.

RIP Robert Francis Kennedy. We barely knew ye.

& recommend.
