I attended Special Olympics events back in the 70’s with my disabled brother. At the time, I had no idea of the history of the program; I just knew that it was some of the best memories my brother had.
I am no fan of the Kennedy clan, but I don’t care for any mean-spirited comments on this thread.
Most of the posts here have been kind and respectful. However it is expected that her brother is likely to join her soon, and that thread will be very different. Suggest you not read it.
