"Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality of those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change."
- Robert F. Kennedy

In 1968 I had the privilege of spending a weekend working in the RFK campaign for President during the Indiana primary. Festooned in campaign hat and sash I was a part of the Welcome Committee (I was co-chair of Asbury College Young Democrats) in the Louisville airport and shook his and Ethel's hands one month to the day before his assassination.

Ruthy and her family all campaigned for him, and I was bereft when he was shot. Just think what the world might be like today if he'd been elected (and of course he would have)!

...yet his death has somehow made him remembered as a great person who might have otherwised faded into the background! When he was shot it was a horrid and unthinkable act.
