And, like you, I love reading everyone's 6's as I never cease to be amazed at how much creativity can fit in a mere 6 sentences. <br />This is a lovely story, lovingly told. You've got an amazing knack for descriptive writing.

I've never been one to collect autographs or be attracted by fame, but I think it would have been nice to look back after his passing and remember that you once met him. My sister, as a young teen, shook Robert Kennedy's hand at a campaign rally one time; she didn't wash her hand for a few days, and she remembers that brief encounter still, taking place very shortly before his death.

This memoir is beautifully written. I think I was probably about 11 (it was the 60's) when I bought my first single 45. I think it was The Gypsy Cried by Lou Christie. Remember those plastic little do-dads that went in the center of the 45s to put them on the spindle of the record player.
