Well, I must have given him a surprised look but I did say; &#8220;peace be with you&#8221; and his reply was the same. I wanted to say hello when Mass was over but when I turned around when Mass had ended, he had already gone.<\/p>\n<p>So today on Senator Kennedy&#8217;s passing, I hope he finds eternal rest and peace. I never had a chance to say hello, and all we did was offer each other a simple greeting of peace. However, this brief exchange on life&#8217;s journey is something I will never forget. Peace be with you Senator Kennedy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 22, 1932 \u2013 August 25, 2009 The Kennedy&#8217;s have many connections to Huletts Landing so I thought I would tell of my one brief encounter with Sen.
