My first real encounter with cancer was when I was 8 years old. My mom and dad had brought me, my older sister and older brother to visit my Grampa, who was always simply the best! We all knew he was very ill. I was reluctant to go that day because I knew he was very sick. But I had to say goodbye to Grampa. I really loved him and he loved me. I was his favorite. You can even ask my siblings about that.

Kennedy Jr. challenged that world with some, well, unique questions at the Senate Finance Committee. Kennedy had a rather rough week getting many of the attendants to buy in.

I had a memorable conversation with former President Jimmy Carter back in the 1980’s that I’ll never forget. The interview was set up to help publicize the former president’s Habitat for Humanity homes project, which was just one of the many selfless things he did to make this world a better place.
