Has anybody here seen my old friend John?

Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked around and he's gone.



RIP John. May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963

3. My Mother died this day in 1993
of cancer. It seemed ironic to me that she died on the anniversary of JFK's death because she was always so obsessed with JFK and the assasination.

And my Father died two years ago on the 4th of July... another significant American date. I think it's kind of a weird coincidence.
