Congressman Kucinich remembers Kennedy's hospital visit

CLEVELAND--Congressman Dennis Kucinich says "America has lost a great champion for health care, working people and education," with the passing of Senator Edward Kennedy.

Kucinich shared some personal remembrances.

He first met Senator Kennedy in the mid 1970's. Then Councilman Dennis Kucinich was a patient in St. Alexis Hospital. Kennedy and other senators were touring local hospitals and wound up spending time with him.

Kucinich has recently experienced the death of two brothers and a sister.

He remembers one of the first calls of condolence on the death of his brother Perry came from Senator Kennedy.

He offered his thoughts and tribute in remarks to Channel 3 News.
