Life forever changed.  In fact, I feel now that at that moment I lost my innocence,  a hero...and have not since then loved and got excited about any President except Obama...and he has already fallen off the pedestal of political rhetoric.   

Jack Ruby....live in Detroit prior to moving to LA.  Watching the assassination in front of me, blurry eyed.... and then having to deal with Lyndon Johnson whose legacy was not clear to me for years....

1st floor English.   Shakespeare.   A fog.  

I think now of living through the Presidential assassination, having a color blind existance at Cass...with my Mom teaching on 12'th and the Blvd., the ground zero for the riots....and feel that I was living in my own bubble of heaven...and the bubble broke when I graduated.   

Dallas and I went back to Cass several times to perform and teach with Pat...to visit...to celebrate Harp and Vocal....  The energy was new energy, as it needed to be.  Pat ...so generous, loving, and brilliant.  

I am not sure whether the statement "You cannot go home again" is as accurate as "You cannot live life again."
