June 5, 2004

Eep. How could I have missed this?

On this day in 2004, the Gipper passed away. A friend of mine says often “God, I miss voting for that man.” I never got a chance to do so, being 3 days too young to vote in the 1984 Presidential election.

June 5, 1968

Senator Robert F. Kennedy (D-NY) was assassinated in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, CA.

He has a very modest gravestone at Arlington National Cemetery.
