Re: An honest politican

I never knew my family. But over the years I have searched and finally I found my mother and later I found a brother and then a couple of aunts. At my age unfortunately people have died so I didn't ever know my dad and his family. It turns out that my father's sister was Charles Kennedy's mother. I knew this for some time and the more I learned about him the more I wanted to pluck up courage to see if I could meet him.

Too late now for he is gone. I am in my small way very proud of him but very sad that I never met him as he seems to be funny and flawed just like me.

.....and so you should be CC. A lovely, gentle man. Yes, it would have been nice if you could have both met.
