Everyone is saying I should remember where I was and what I was doing that day - but I have no idea.

“Everyone is saying I should remember where I was and what I was doing that day - but I have no idea.”

Honestly I think it’s an overblown thing. Any murder is a shame, but Mr. Lennon was no prophet. He was just a man, a rather mixed up man, who wrote some good songs and some bad ones. He was an icon of his age, but, that’s about it.

I sure as hell don't remember where I was at that moment. I do know that I had gotten out of the service and was in college.

A few things I do remember during that week though...

One prof. came into our class a few days later and deadpanned,"What's yellow and eats alone? Yoko Ono!"

But more I remember sitting with my dad at the old Whiting Hotel, having a drink with my dad on the Friday following the shooting. We were watching tributes to John Lennon, and my father turned to me and said, "He wrote some pretty good songs."

This from my father, who really did not like rock and roll, loved classical music. He was an accomplished and ethical attorney, who had also flown B-29's out of Guam during the Second World War, in bombing missions over Japan. I remember that time with my father more than anything.

Dad passed away a year later due to a stroke.
