Ball point pen on the morning newsprint

Maybe it was the sailor in Ted that enabled him towards the end to take his bearing and change his course, learn to navigate a life filled with tragedy and become a better husband, father, uncle and senator. He was 77.

Always in the news, it seems I’ve doodled the Kennedy’s many times.

    Hi Larry, I was looking forward to your observation and drawing and appreciate your sailing metaphor and the poignancy of your comments and drawing of Ted Kennedy. I am sad to know this sailing days are over. Pat

    Thanks Pat, I had two shootings in New York today, so these doodles were kind of rushed.

    He had a troubled personal life, but while he never became president, he leaves a stronger legacy than either of his brothers, doesn’t he? Wow–some of these portraits are excellent, Larry! The last of the original Kennedys…
