Good reading, Adam.
I too remember that Sunday when I heard the Bostock news – I think you were the one who told me.
As for August 2, 1979, during the summer between fifth grade and sixth grade, I received a phone call from a classmate, Simon Joseph, inviting me to play with him that afternoon. It was unusual to hear from Simon during the summer, and I was not sure if I wanted to go, but I went anyway. While I was there, his mother Betty walked up to us at about 5 or 5:30pm and said, in her inimitable British accent, “Thurman Munson was killed.” I froze. It felt like a punch in the stomach. I asked to use their phone and I called my father. All I asked was, “Is it true?” He knew what I was asking about and said, “Yes.” I then asked him to pick me up and take me home.
Anyway, congratulations on a job well done, Adam. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
