I will never forget watching his speech following the CA primary (I was in Seattle then), when he gave victory sign and said, "And now it's on to Chicago." I was about to turn off the TV when suddenly the horrible news came--he'd been shot. I honestly thought, for a few brief moments, that he would live. What a different world this might be if he had. I still weep.

Oh, and Dolores Huerta is as beautiful now as she was then. What a blessing her life has been.
