    • Was up late that night listening to radio for results from California and fixing my stereo. Soon as I heard he him say, "And now it's on to Chicago and let's win there!" I turned the radio off and went to bed knowing things were going to get better.

      Got woke up the next morning when friends busted into my room asking me if I knew what happened to RFK.

      Was sent into shock again.

      Our nation was born in revolution and it has continued to "revolt"! We had women's right to vote, we had minorities win the right to vote and now we want a government that looks out that the rich do not abuse their power and fail the working class and poor. It is the 99% that decide now this latest incarnation of the American Revolution proceeds. Long Live America and the dream of freedom for all!

      Oh, I kind of feel his disembodied spirit is watching us from the other side,
      and smiling now knowing, though it took a long time for people to assemble,
      it's finaly snowballing into something bigger than anyone could have ever
      dreamed. Intending no dark humor, but though he's deceased, he's better
      late than never.

      I was in study hall right after lunch we heard the Librarian scream. We thought someone set her up. Then a teacher stood up on stage and said President Kennedy had been killed and the details were sketchy. We were to return to our homerooms and were being sent home. I was in the 9th grade at the time. Our world had been destroyed.

    • When RFK's motorcade passed by my high school, I got a chance to
      push ahead in the crowd, shake his hand, and get full eye contact for
      a second before he stood back up straight, brushed back the cowlick
      which drooped into his brow. I had a full color large photo of John F.
      Kennedy on my dresser. For a high school teen from a small city in
      upstate New York, that was one of the memorable thrills of a lifetime.
      How profound his statement realy is. The generation I'm a part of was
      born in the same transit that orbits every 200 years, sharing a spiritual
      awareness the original American Revolutionaries identified with. Ie only
      1 in a Million post war baby boomers may have their own stars alligned
      with the original leaders to be born to become leaders of their movement..
      And even then because they weren't born to follow, yet were somehow
      advanced enough in their own personal evolution to be noticed for their
      leadership traits. Still, all my high school/college peers could sense they
      were a part of it. You don't have to be a Bhuddist to understand eveything
      moves in cycles, why things are reincarnated, It's happening again even
      now with the OWS movement. They still don't know fully what they've
      awakened. And when they find out it won't go away with cheap talk & phony
      promises. Nor will it be intimidated..They'll finaly realize they do see the
      American dream, and they're not sleeping. Nothing in this world is more
      powerful than an idea whose time has come. And OWS is long overdue.

      Yeah, I think Sodus has a bay area in that it might be on Lake Ontario
      too. It's about 50 miles West of Syracuse on the I 90 Thruway in N.Y.
      You're quite welcome. RFK knew the spirit of the USA is Revolution.
      As Alexander Dumas theme exhorted: One for all & all for one !
