Mary Jo Kopechne died 40 years ago today
An infamous event in Ted Kennedy's history...
Mary Wentworth reminds us at CapeCodToday.com:
"Just past midnight on Saturday, July 19, 1969, Senator Ted Kennedy drove his black Oldsmobile sedan off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha's Vineyard, just off Cape Cod. The Senator escaped a watery death, but a passenger in his car, twenty-eight-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, did not."
