Thoughts Regarding Robert F. Kennedy Tragically, Shot 56 years ago Tonight

I went to sleep exactly 56 years ago tonight, looking to the next day and whether Don Drysdale pitched an incredible 6th straight shutout.

He did and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who won the California primary that night, congratulated “Big D” (Drysdale) on his accomplishment.

It was not long after, that as was the situation with Robert’s brother, President Kennedy and just 2 months earlier on April 4th, concerning Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, that Robert Kennedy was shot and eventually died, I believe the next day, as regarding President Lincoln, 105 years earlier.

Maybe, in the hope of peace or to avoid “gey schlog dir kop in vant” (hitting my head against the wall), I cite Vaughn Meader, as I thought of him, the other day.

In Mr. Meader’s classic spoof, in good humorous taste of President Kennedy, on an album called “The First Family,” there is a state luncheon.

Certainly, it is Mr. Nasser of Egypt and let’s say Mr. Ben-Gurion of Israel and after the former orders pastrami, but with mayonnaise and on white bread, the latter prefaces citing other “disagreements,” however is certain, he is helping, advising an amended order of pastrami but with mustard on rye bread.

Bobby might be “on a hill with Abraham, Martin and John.” Peace!!
