Lessenberry commentary for 7/22/2013
You probably know by now that legendary journalist Helen Thomas died over the weekend, in her apartment in Washington.
She would have ninety-three next month. She spent her forty-first birthday in the place she worked for half a century, the White House, covering President Kennedy.
Kennedy was the first president Helen covered full time, and I am sure she had no idea that on that long-ago Tuesday, the last President she would cover was being born in far-off Hawaii.
