Mama used to say that she
never wanted a dog because if
she had one, she’d get attach- ,
ed to it and then be so sad
when it died. She had seen me
lose pets and watched the sor-
row I felt each time. I told her
that it was true about the
misery in losing a pet just as
in losing any friend but the
memories of times shared, the
joy of having had such a loyal
companion far outweighs the
tragedy of loss.

Grapefruit crops in the In-

Hurricane David tore through

“The Florida supply is

Any decline in Florida produc-

had been such an important

into homes of their own,
before the grandchildren
came, before any of the other
dogs.
We named his Sonny when

To White House photogra- ’
pher David Hume Kennedy,
she symbolized the tragic
impact of war upon innocent
civilians
“The look on her face
reflected so many thmgs that
I’d seen for 2H years of cov-
ering the war but never really
put together in one picture,”
recalled Kennedy in a recent
interview
He photographed that girl
and many other fleeing,
wounded and dying Indo-
chinese for President Ford,
who had granted his young
official photographer's
request to visit Vietnam and
Cambodia in March 1975
Kennedy returned with his
grim pictures and an equally
gnm warning that the Com-
munist takeover of both coun
tries was nearer than the mili-
tary had led the president to
believe
As a result of that report,
recalled Ford in his memoirs,
he stepped up the evacuation
of refugees, perhaps saving
the lives of other vacant-eyed,
gnmy-faced children.
The shot of the Cambodian
waif remains Kennerly's
favorite of the thousands of
pictures he has taken in a
_ career that progressed in just

big dogs, never close friends.
When Christopher, the
Cocker came to live with us,
there was a slight change in
that Chris was also a house
dog. Sbnny took it upon
himself to house break the pup
and did a perfect job. As the
little black puppy grew bigger
than the white Poodle, a real
friendship formed. For the
first time in his life with us,
Sonny jumped down from his
place at the foot of our bed and
slept on the bed with Chris.
They ate side by side and
sometimes the old dog would
run with the youngster. Both
dogs rode with us in the car
and ate beef jerky and watch-
ed other dogs in other cars.

Sonny was always watching.

him and felt his heart poun-

for its intelligence, loyality,
sensitivity and ability to
adapt.
One of the reasons we pick-
ed Sonny was because Re
wanted a dog who could travel
around with us and we made a
wise choice. He took all
automobile vacations with us
for twelve years and stayed in
motels and hotels from Mex-
ico to Canada and across the
United States from ocean to
ocean. He always slept on the
foot of the bed and at least
once scared somebody trying-
to break into our room. Only
once did a motel manager
hesitate to give us a room
because we had a dog with us.
It was late and we stopped at
this small, sort of rundown
place in the Rockies. The little
seedy looking man showed
some doubt about renting a
room to folks who had a
perfectly mannered, snow
white clipped Poodle on a
leash. When I saw the
manager’s feeling, and I
realized that many travelers
who stayed at this place
weren’t half as clean as this
odorless dog, that they didn’t
have the manners nor the
honesty of Sonny', we decided
that the motel wasn’t good
enough for any of us.
Sonny accepted each dog we
added to our place, never
showing any jealousy, display-
ing patience with puppies,
keeping his distance, sure of
his own position in our lives.

Kennerly, when this to
over I think I shall have to
throw you in jail,” joked an
impatient Sadat during the
session.
Kennerly ranks Sadat as
one of the five most interest-
ing people he has photo-
1 graphed. Others are Ford (to
whom he says he became a
“ion pro tempore”), former
Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger. Soviet President
Leonid Brezhnev and maestro
Igor Stravinsky.
One of Kennedy’s few
regrets to not photographing
China’s Mao Zedung —
“because he was, whether you
liked him politically or not,
one of the last great leaders of
the world from that period
during and after W<
H.”
Another regret may be a
photo he took in June 1968 of
grief-stricken Ethel Kennedy

“I don’t really know that
picture,” says Kennerly.' “And
really I think that to the ulti-
mate judgment.” ,
What’s ahead for Kennerly?
At 32, he has already photo-
graphed most of the public
figures who interest him Now
he wants to track down some
intriguing private figures, like
Daniel K. Ludwig, a reclusive
US. billionaire who master-
minded missive land deals in
Brazil. '
And be wants to direct
films.
And someday be might even
try to find that Cambodian
waif whose photograph still
haunts him.
