"Fascinating. I remember your Dad and Mom very well. Always drinking your Dads beer. How did I get you into that canyon with a knee injury? I've passed that
spot many times through the years while kayaking and thought about you every time. I also remember the Navel Hospital as I must have taken you there, either to drop you off, pick you up or to visit. Again thinking about you every time I passed until they tore it down.
I've been trying to piece together the time we spent together. You made an indelible mark on my life in such a short amount of time. Why did you go to Texas? I sort of remember that. It seems you always slipped through my life only to reappear again. I also remember you living in Concord on Solano Ave with some girl friends?? And I'll always remember the last time I saw you in Lafayette. You were sizzling HOT!! You were so beautiful that day it left a lasting impression I have to this day....
What's fascinating to me is through my life with all the different people, experiences, occupations, sports, girlfriends, travel that I held you in my memories as the best time of my life. Whatever it was, I still feel it deep within my soul."
(response to Bi-O article =
Perfectly written. It did fill in a few holes. I knew then you were a
shining star and I was never going to stand in your way. My thoughts and
prayers were always with you for over forty years. You sure made a deep
lasting impression. I know I'm not the only one saying this. However, I
feel honored our lives crossed and I'm still alive to expressive my
gratitude.

"The Way We Were" (1974)
Mem'ries, Light the corners of my mind Misty water-colored memories Of the way we were Scattered pictures, Of the smiles we left behind Smiles we gave to one another For the way we were Can it be that it was all so simple then? Or has time re-written every line? If we had the chance to do it all again Tell me, would we? Could we? Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet What's too painful to remember We simply choose to forget So it's the laughter We will remember Whenever we remember... The way we were. |
