HYANNISPORT, MA- Senator Edward Kennedy and Vicki Kennedy Go Sailing (05-20-09)

HYANNISPORT - Sen. Edward Kennedy, his wife, Victoria, and their two dogs took a sail on their boat this morning on a fine Cape Cod day.

The Kennedys, along with crewmembers, drove a golf cart down a Hyannisport pier to the schooner Mya shortly before noon.

Kennedy, who is chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, was diagnosed with a malignant glioma in his brain after collapsing in Hyannisport last May.

He went on a radiation and chemotherapy regimen after having surgery at Duke University Medical Center in June and has been working, mainly behind the scenes, to pass health care reform legislation.

A Washington, D.C., publication, The Hill, reported yesterday that Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Kennedy's brain cancer is in remission and he would return to the Senate full time in early June.

But that report was denied by Kennedy's office in a statement later yesterday.

A Boston staffer who did not wish to be named told the Times the senator continues to balance a treatment regimen with work, adding that his schedule is determined on a day-to-day basis.

Teddy spent his last days sailing on the water.

Mary Jo spent her last minutes trying to get out from under it.

A fine person to have chairing the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.... shouldn't the old and feeble retire after they are no longer contributing to society?

Please step down Senator and give the younger generation a chance.
