  My name is Rita Williams-Garcia. I write for teens. I remember my father, who had just returned from Viet Nam, driving our family out to Monterey Peninsula Airport to hear Bobby Kennedy. At the end of Bobby's speech my father ran after Kennedy and the next thing I knew I was taking a picture with RFK. A man with a lot of hair. My father and sister insist Kennedy picked me up, but at eleven, I was hardly a small child. So far I've seen only one photo with RFK and a young black girl in a green dress, but that wasn't me. What I would give to find that snapshot.

  He had his Irish poetry about him - he let his feelings show.

  I saw Bobby kennedy in Monterey Park, CA on May 30, 1968. I came withing about 3 inches of touching him when the car was turning from Garfield Ave. on to Riggin Ave. I would love to know if the author was taking pictures at that moment? I just finished Thurston Clarke's book on the campaign. What a tragedy. I am going to purchase Mr. Eppridge's book.
