Mourners Gather in Boston to Pay Respects

The World

Those who loved Senator Ted Kennedy are standing in line to pay their respects, even at this early hour. Kennedy lies in repose at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston. We talk with Sean Corcoran, a senior reporter from WCAI who is in Boston collecting stories from people gathering there. We also talk with Robert from Oakville, Connecticut who drove up with his 14-year-old grandson Ryan.
