June 5th 1968
37 years ago today Robert F. Kennedy was shot and killed in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles...A sad day for America, honestly I don't think we've fully recovered from this.

Though I was born 15 or so years after his death, I can't help but feel a little sad today

2. I had forgotten it was today...
until I heard a little blurb on XM during a commercial break. The news is fawning over the anniversary of Reagan's death but not one word about Bobby

3. 1968 was a horrid year
From start to finish, I still shudder everytime I hear of anything that happened then.
