Any word re Teddy Kennedy

[malaise]

How is he doing?

[Captain Hilts]

1. He can't attend the convention because he's vulnerable to germs. nt

2. He has already taped a message to be played at the convention

But I wouldn't put it past him to show up, for the speech only. I don't know if anybody will really know until right before he speaks. It could be a stealth visit like the Medicare vote was which actually made a few of the repukes vote for the bill. They said that if it was that important for Teddy to show up to vote, they were going to support him. So it at least put a temporary end to the obstructionism for that one bill.

MASHPEE - About 600 people turned out at Mashpee's Community Park last night for a candlelight vigil honoring the town's three fallen members of the military.

Baron said Senator Edward M. Kennedy had visited his home early yesterday and spoke privately with Paul's mother, Maria, for about 15 minutes.

5. Ted...

Visiting the bereaved families of sacrificed soldiers sounds like something Ted would do.

I think of Teddy every day as he fights his own battle. Thanks for this news.
