"What a great moment for me, my son, the world. What you have made possible for so many people defies all reason." LOWELL WEICKER, JR.

Dr. Robert E. Cooke, Medical Advisor to Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation and Special Olympics

Dear Eunice,



Health problems keep me away but my spirit is with you on your 88th. You have caught up with me again. Occasions like your birthday make me think of all the great things you have done. The one that stands out for me but rarely mentioned is FAMILY. Yes, the athletes of Special Olympics are enriched, their health is improved, their smiles broadened. And look at mother or father or brother or sister, they are proud, probably for the first time as the athlete crosses the finish line. The effort enables the whole family and will be with them for as long as they live. Special Olympics might consider Parent Awards, a letter that the parents can keep always.



Eunice you have done more for the family of Special Olympians as well as with your own children and with Sarge. 



Enjoy the birthday. I miss you. Affectionately,

Bob Cooke
