Many things have been said about the Kennedy family, but it should also be remembered that scandals aside, they were committed to the notion of public service. And so it was with Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founder of the Special Olympics--a cause that has promoted hope, health, and higher self-esteem for a population once relegated to society's margins. She died in Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, Massachusetts. She was 88.

Well said. Had some dealings with Special Olympics through my job and it was a first class organization and everyone always credit Ms. Shriver.
Thanks, CC. She was, as they say, "a class act."
