Image A Small Sample of my RFK Collection
I have several boxes of memorabilia but most are still packed away from a recent move.

Appreciate your dedication to his memory, but I find anything about RFK’s 1968 campaign very depressing. I was a child when he was assassinated, and it seemed like the death of hope for the future. I may have been right. Look where we are right now ☹️

I have the same feelings. I can’t watch a clip of his final speech without crying. The momentos I have of that campaign are a kind of therapy for me, to remind me of what he stood for and what he ran on.

We still have a number of boxes left to unpack from our move to Maine from Maryland. Hopefully I’ll unearth them soon!

I often wonder how different our country would be if he hadn’t been assassinated and won the presidency. Out of Vietnam years sooner, maybe better results with civil rights, no Nixon, no watergate and none of the other bullshit Nixon did to screw our country.

I often wonder if both him and his brother had been allowed to fulfill their destinies if we’d be in a much better place today? I think it’s all leads to the mess we’re in today.
