On Being Thankful
Eunice Kennedy Shriver died this morning at 2am. She created (right here in Maryland!) the Special Olympics for which I am thankful. Kevin enjoys the programs very much and I enjoy watching him doing his thing and appreciate the giving nature of all volunteers involved.
The athlete's pledge, "Let me win. If I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt," makes me misty-eyed.

She leaves a great legacy.
I should lend you "The Memory Keeper's Daughter." It speaks of the joy that EKS cherished.
She was an amazing woman - probably could have been pres herself had she been born at a different time.
there's a lovely article in today's NYTimes sports page about her by Richard Sandomir. go to their website and check it out.
Best,
L.
