Kennedy’s parents set high standards for their children and taught them that good things come to those who work. Mark worked hard getting himself through college. If there was a job to do, he did it. Kennedy mowed lawns, raised cattle, bailed hay, picked strawberries for 25 cents a quart (not a pint), washed dishes, baked bread and fried donuts at one in the morning, pumped gas and sold bait.
Kennedy took the lessons learned from his youth - to work hard, think things through and challenge the status quo - to Washington with him to gets things done for Minnesota.
