    I was 12....in the 7th grade...

    My mother was 8 months pregnant with my youngest brother.

    Had to give a note to my choir teacher explaining why I couldn't participate in the Christmas concert.

    My girlfriend's name was Kim.

    Thats all I can think of <g>

    Pleasure Dome,

    Interesting. What did you read about John that you didn't like? Was it the Goldman biography? If so, I must remind you that Goldman hates everybody and does what he can to put his subjects in a bad light.

    Believe it or not, gang, I was at pioneer school when it happened! Was that really 22 years ago??? A friend of mine, who is now an elder (but I like him anyway) was also at pioneer school and he decorated the inside cover of his study book with a tribute to John Lennon because he was so mournful about it (BIG Beatles fan), and then scratched it out in a fit of remorse for his worldliness.

    At home with the first wife. Has it been 22 years? I remember sadness then, but over the years I really grew in awe of Lennon's talent as a songwriter.

    Time flys when your having fun.

    Has it been 22 years?

    Can you believe it's been so long? Ah well, "time is fun when you are having flies"

    Watching Monday Night Football and that's when Gifford/Meredith/Cosell announced that John Lennon had been shot outside of his New York City apartment.

    I remember being slightly agitated that Howard Cosell told me about Lennon's death. I can still hear his voice. His voice used to always rub me the wrong way.

    It amuses me when I look back and realize all the things that used to rub me the wrong way when I was young and hot headed.
