Those shoes are already filled by his son Tim Shriver as Special Olympics Inc. CEO and Chairman since 1996. We just had a tribute for Sargent in the office today. Maria Shriver was there as well.

Ok... Well I don't see the Shriver family as an upper social class family. I see them as people like me. I'm not part of the upper social class. I'm in the middle social class like the majority of the people employed by SOI and SONA in D.C.
