Who was Mary Jo Kopechne who died 40 years ago tonight?
Ted Kennedy has lived a full and happy life. Mary Jo Kopechne never had that chance. She perished, alone and afraid in that cold, cold water. I lay flowers on her grave every year on the anniversary of the Chappaquiddick incident, as I will tonight. I just hope that my small gesture will somehow let her know that though she will never get the justice she deserves, she is remembered.
