The first stop was at the one room school house in Vortex. That school was torn down long ago and a private home now stands on that sight. Kennedy and his entourage stopped there for a hearing that lasted an hour. Residents from Wolfe, Breathitt and Madison counties testified about how they made ends meet. They also had some questions for the senator about what the government was and should be doing.
