Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy, Jr. (born September 26, 1961) is an American lawyer and politician. He is a partner at Epstein Becker & Green, a firm headquartered in New York City, New York, and currently represents Connecticut's 12th Senate district in the Connecticut Senate. He is a son of Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy from Massachusetts and nephew of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy. ==Early life and education== Edward was born to Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy and Joan Bennett Kennedy in Boston, Massachusetts. He is the brother of Kara (1960-2011) and Patrick J. Kennedy (born 1967). In 1973, when Kennedy was twelve, osteosarcoma (a form of bone cancer) was diagnosed in his right leg. The leg was surgically amputated on November 17, 1973. On that same day his father had escorted his cousin Kathleen down the aisle at her wedding and rushed back to the hospital. A made-for-TV movie, ''The Ted Kennedy Jr. Story'' (1986), concentrated on this event in young Kennedy's life.〔Staff Writer (October 8, 2010).( The Doctor's World ). New York Times.
