WITH ALL OF THE RECENT ATTENTION being paid to Robert F. Kennedy with the release of the new motion picture “Bobby,” Laurence M. Gordon sent in this photo of RFK posing with the members, managers and coach of North Bethesda Jr. High’s 1963 Montgomery County championship basketball team. Gordon, third from the left, recalls in the meeting at RFK’s office when he was Attorney General that Kennedy asked the team a history question that no one could answer. “It was a special experience being in his presence,” Gordon says now. The meeting was arranged by Edwin O. Guthman, the father of Les Guthman (fourth from the left). The elder Guthman worked as Kennedy’s press secretary at the time. Ed Guthman, who won the Pulitzer for national reporting in 1950, would later write a book on Kennedy after his death titled “We Band of Brothers.” (Photo: Courtesy Laurence M. Gordon)
