I met Ted Kennedy and his son Edward in 1980 when Ted ran for president. I was 12. Kennedy was visiting area homes in NH of registered Democrats and he came to one in my neighborhood. He was also supposed to come to ours. He was running late so they canceled our house. The next day Ted sent his son and a campaign person to personally visit us and apologize ( Ted also called my parents) I have a vague memory of my family taking a walk with the son and we talked about his wooden leg because I was 12 and asked about it.
