Thank you Connie. This story is most appreciated. I am a fan of both Browns It is my hope that we will again be graced to have you and your husband in the public domain in 2 years. I thank you both for all the hard work you have done. In my own small way I support you.
Thank you for sharing these anecdotes. I have long admired Mrs Kennedy. I saw her once in 1966 at the Warner Theater in Wash DC. I saw her driving a convertible with the top down with 3 or 4 kids and she was struggling to get out of a tight parking space. Her car radio was blaring and the kids were being kids. Finally she was successful and she drove away toward McLean. She looked a bit frazzled until she pulled out of the parking lot. I was a teenager then but I have experienced the same situation (probable not so gracefully)as a mother with a car full of kids. Mrs Kennedy always seemed to me so down to earth.
Thank you for sharing this remarkable story. My favorite part is the very last line, "because how we behave when few are watching is the truest story of who we are."
“I don’t have to like the people who say they hate me, but I should never let them chip away at who I’m supposed to be.” This. When I feel hated, my assignment is to not hate them back.
I finally got around to reading this saved article (for when I had time). I must say, it's lovely and a lovely reminder that joy and acceptance like Annie's and Ethel's makes life worth living. Thanks.
Thank you for this. The women in a crowded room are always my go-to people as well, when I am overwhelmed and feeling invisible. Your stories of Ethel Kennedy are inspiring on many levels: friendship, connections, empathy, and the ability we all have to make a moment better for those who are in our presence. You are also an incredible inspiration in ways that will never be known to you. We appreciate you. Better Together
Beautiful ! Thank you 🙏 so very much. I tuned in by chance and watched the funeral ceremony for her… I was glad to see Joe, her grandson who I had fought for over a senate seat… Thank you so much for sharing these especially poignant and inspiring 3 stories 🙏 xo
Dear Connie, a great story of admirable sisterhood- sharing values, looking out for each other, acknowledging each other, natural reciprocity with each other.
Gorgeous writing. I just read your about page and I’m in.
I feel there as much to be learned and gathered here. I love your perspective about being unbound, good for you.
I love this so much. First because of the life lessons. Second because I need lots of light to see as well and finally because I used to tell my middle school students that their true character was shown by what they did when no one was looking. You are the best!!!

Wonderful stories! 💗
What a touching story, Connie. We are the same age, incidentally. I admire both you and Sherrod.

What a telling story about a truly great woman. Thanks for weaving in the life lessons she gave you.

For me, the Kennedys have always lived in my imagination in a fairy tale world (Camelot). Your tribute allowed me a glimpse inside. Thank you!
I recently saw President Obama’s eulogy for her it was very moving and heartbreaking at the same time.
