Re: [DEADPOOL] Special Olympics: Body Toss

[Jim O'Connell]

I was at the Boston Summer Special Olympics this year. What an incredible event. I know Jack and Bobby and Barbara Tuchman together saved the world, but Eunice was probably the greatest of the Kennedys. -----Original Message----- From: Rychard Withers Sent: Aug 11, 2009 7:55 AM To: wnndl@googlegroups.com Subject: [DEADPOOL] Special Olympics: Body Toss Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who planted the seeds for the Special Olympics when she launched Camp Shriver on the lawn of her Maryland home, and then with force of will and the clout of her family name spread her vision of lifting the developmentally disabled "into the sunlight of useful living," died this morning.  The middle child of nine in a clan embraced as America’s royalty, Mrs. Shriver counted among her siblings US Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat whose storied political tenure is being curtailed by illness, and the slain symbols of ’60s hope, President John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. Her husband, Sargent Shriver, was the first director of the Peace Corps, a US ambassador to France, and a vice presidential candidate.   --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
