In response to: On this day in history...A place to post little historical facts & other important events that might have changed the world!

It's been a while, but this date is extra special to me, 1) My wife & I got together on this day in '95

                                                                                                2) A good friend was born on this day in '65 

                                                                                                3) John Lennon was assassinated on this day in front of the Dakota  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon#December_1980:_Murder

 

 I was sitting at my desk working on a project & listening to the MNF when it was announced. I ended up all night  & when I got to school the next day, Louie, Mark,  I decided we would see about heading to NYC. I was only 15 so we couldn't get across the boarder, so we ended up going to the memorial @ Nathan Philips Square in TO.

 I had to fight with my parents to get out that night (I just said here's where I'll be & walked out the door, they continued the argument after I left )...

 So to end this off, Happy Anniversary honey! Happy B'day BQ!

John, WE MISS YOU!!!
