Tuesday marked the 50th Anniversary of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Some of my contemporaries, and many from the previous generation revere RFK. They have a strong sentimentality looking back on his ideas, and his ideals. This year I set out to understand why, and to read about the learnings that shaped his beliefs.
I have worked in politics in one way or another most of my adult life – run campaigns, lobbied the state legislature, served in state government, headed up a trade association, been a business-issues lobbyist, and consulted on strategies for advocacy and direct political action.
Today marks the 76th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The next day, President Roosevelt addressed Congress and the nation with a somber yet stirring speech in which he swore that America would never forget December 7, 1941, as a “date that would live in infamy.”

Each time she managed to integrate into her new surroundings, becoming popular in extra-curricular activities, sports, and cheerleading, while achieving in the classroom.
