I can't remember if it was during winter break or if it was a snow day. I just remember watching it in your S. Pine St. apartment.<BR/><BR/>Although I haven't watched the Light in YEARS, there will always be a place in my heart for it. I watched it with Granny, Mommy, the sisters, and your kids when you were working and they had to report back to you the details.

My John Lennon story is too eerie, and it takes forever to tell the long version. But at the moment I heard he died I was listening to him AND staring at a charcoal sketch of him that my artist friend had just finished. <BR/><BR/>I am so sorry about your show!

Hope it turns up somewhere else.<BR/><BR/>Oh I love Debora's blog too and its great to see a picture of you together! She and her husband's music is amazing.

Glad I didn't marry him.<BR/><BR/>I remember the day the Twin Towers fell to ashes. I was 47, stunned, at home alone, called my husband and then watched a plane crash into the Pentagon. I called him again and told him to come home. We lived 30 minutes from the Pentagon.<BR/><BR/>Probably other happenings as well that I can recall exactly where I was.<BR/><BR/>I don't watch soap operas but I'm sure the cancellation of The Guiding Light is a sad day for many.<BR/><BR/>Di<BR/>The Blue Ridge GalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-12782080330723390602009-04-02T10:55:00.000-07:002009-04-02T10:55:00.000-07:00I heard about Guiding Light too.

(funny thing to remember) I was in class in high school when Challenger blew up. I was telemarketing (here in Idaho) talking to someone in California when the big earthquake hit Cali. I was on vacation - a cabin in Minnesota - when 9/11 happened. I turned on the little TV to find PBS for my toddler, just in time to see the second plane hit the second tower.<BR/><BR/>Debbie and husband are adorable - I am happy to hear you had some positive experiences while visiting your aunt - cancer is a black hole of negative energy that can suck in everything around it. Sounds like your aunt is a worthy opponent.

I remember being at work when my receptionist walked in and said "I just heard on the radio that a small plane flew into the World Trade Center..." and I happened to have a small TV in my office and we turned it on and a few minutes later watched the second plane and knew our world was changing. I was in my basement on the computer when the news of Princess Diana's death was released. I was in college in the dorm when John Lennon was killed. <BR/><BR/>I remember many events like this.<BR/><BR/>Have never watched the Guiding Light. But if they ever take General Hospital off the air, I'll be mourning right along with you.<BR/><BR/>50 days til I land in Vegas.
