I was in high school looking and searching to find myself my place and that's when I found John. I listened to his music constantly, through the years,I introduced it to my husband, my daughter when she was born. We traveled to as many of John's concerts as we could, but the best one was in Reno, NV, where he was playing outside and he started singing The Eagle and the Hawk and up above an eagle appeared, it was magical not only to us but to John also. He said he didn't plan that, then he shook his head and said "Far Out" we all erupted in applause. Like so many others the day he died I cried for days. Here in Reno we have planted a tree in his memory in a park so that future generations can learn of his love for all of mankind and what he stood for. He will always be in me, my heart and my soul. I was searching and found a forever friend.
