U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy makes regular use of Barnstable Municipal Airport in his travels to and from Washington D.C.
In recognition of that, as well as the prominence of the Senator and his family, Bob Howard, Yarmouth's representative to the Barnstable Municipal Airport commission, recommended that the new terminal building bear Kennedy’s name. “I think it would be fine and a nice gesture that you name this terminal the Edward M. Kennedy terminal,” Howard said.
At the same meeting, airport commissioner Michael Dunning read portions of a thank you letter from Victoria Reggie Kennedy, the senator’s wife. She thanked the airport for its professional handling of the Kennedy’s medical flight to Boston in May after a seizure.
Howard wasn’t sure how the recommendation would be met and said it would be fine if he was found out of order or “slapped down.” Neither was the case. Airport commission chairman Daniel Santos said that the committee would consider the recommendation.
