We grew up inspired by the historic words from John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address: “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” After JFK’s assassination in 1963, our hopes turned to his brother Robert F. Kennedy, who echoed George Bernard Shaw’s trenchant observation: “Some people see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not?”
