ReplyDeleteHow in the world are ya?
ReplyDeleteThat is such an iconic picture, and over the years it's made me wonder whatever became of this kid... whether he was hounded by reporters or whether he was haunted by the memory of that day in a profound way. I don't imagine a day passes by where it this tragedy doesn't replay in his mind, heart & spirit.

I'm a cat. And I told when I read something touching and profound. My human Tommy was a kitten when RFK was gunned down by Sirhan Sirhan--she remembers being so sad and hoped RFK wouldn't need to go to Heaven. Thanks for sharing the article. Tommy says she always wondered about that young busboy in the photo.
