Ted Kennedy Died

But so did Joseph Stephen Kimani Nganga Maruge. He was 89 years old. When he was 85 years old, "Maruge went to New York in 2005 to promote a global campaign to get more children into schools." Not only did he learn to read as a very old man (as soon as primary school became free in Kenya), he travelled all the way from Kenya to America to promote the cause. Anyone that takes such a journey so late in life is pretty cool in my book. And brave. Perhaps he will be immortalized in song. Locally. You never know.
