On February 9th, 1963, without any training or preparation, and wearing leather oxford dress shoes, Attorney General Robert Kennedy set out before the sun, marching along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal trail. At 5:00 a.m., RFK, four of his staff members, and his dog Brumis trudged through snow, slush, and foul weather, making way from Great Falls, VA toward Camp David, MD. Though the last of his aides dropped out at the 35-mile mark, Kennedy persisted to the end, completing the march in 17 hours and 50 minutes. His parting words to that staff member, "You're lucky your brother is not president of the United States."
