Edward M. Kennedy
February 22 1932-August 25 2009
The loss of Senator Kennedy has been an incredible shock. He was a party leader and a great Senator, but most importantly he was my Senator, our Senator. It's seems impossible for me to think of a Massachusetts, of a Boston, of a BU and of a BUCD without Senator Kennedy. One of the first things I did with the BUCD as a freshman was make phone calls for Senator Kennedy during the 2006 midterms, and on November 2nd, surrounded by the friends and confetti, I watched him speak, congratulate our new Governor and usher in the first Democratic majority in 12 years. I don't know how much I can say about the Senator that hasn't already been said. I think that the best I can do is share his own advice, "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die..."
