There is a short video of a small gathering by the Kennedy Family and friends at RFK's grave yesterday. I recognize Bill Barry and Frank Mankiewicz. Anybody recognize anyone e3se apart from members of the Kennedy clan?

Thanks for finding that, it brought tears to my eyes. Unfortunately, I didn't recognize anyone else.
Sorry, that should be 'else'of course.
UW, yes, and it touches me to see all the older faces and grey hair and realize that even his children have grown children of their own.
And I am sure Ted was missed on this occasion.
