The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate will be located on the campus of the University of Massachusetts, adjacent to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library on Columbia Point in Boston. The Institute, UMASS, and the JFK Library will work closely together to take advantage of their proximity and enhance the strengths of all three institutions.

The Institute will be dedicated to educating the general public, students, teachers, new Senators, and Senate staff about the role and importance of the Senate. In keeping with Senator Kennedy's lifetime of public service, a major goal of the Institute will be to improve civic education in the nation and educate and inspire a new generation of active citizens and legislators. In all of its programs, the Institute will draw heavily on Senator Kennedy’s extensive papers and oral history materials covering his more than four decades in the Senate.

6. Pretty much. A lot fell on him.

I miss the emails from him or his staff I used to receive. Unfortunately, it seems to accent the finality for me.
