“If you would like to join us in lowering the flag to half staff, please meet in front of the building. Thank you.”
More than 100 doctors, nurses, therapists and patients poured out to the front of the Columbia Road clinic. Pink and blue scrubs surrounded the flagpole as operations manager Melida Arredondo began to speak.
“It is fair to say that without the senator’s legislation and all the work he did in the Senate, none of us would be here today,” Arredondo said. “It was his legislation that created community health centers. And for that we honor and remember Sen. Ted Kennedy, the lionhearted Democrat from Massachusetts.”
Arredondo and a colleague unclipped the line and lowered the flag to half-staff. “OK, right there,” she said.
