Its been 12 years since the cowardly act happen in New York. Today I remember like it was yesterday 4 incidents of history for me and where I was located. .......9/11 I woke up at 1000 am pacific time after a late shift working in the projects of San Francisco. I turned on the television and saw the plane destroying the Towers in NY. I thought WOW what a cool TV show or movie. Then a few minutes later I heard the announcer state what happen.
The 2nd was when I was on patrol at the now defunct Oakland Army Base. I stopped at the entry gate and the officer on duty told me of the shuttle explosion.
3rd place was the 1989 earthquake of San Francisco. I was in downtown on California St when the ground moved. I grabbed my GF at the time, Beverly , and took her to the middle of the street in case panes of glass were to fall onto the sidewalk.
And one of the best memories of my lifetime is my first kiss with Bernice Hegwood. The first black woman I ever kiss and set the tone for the rest of my life. If I wasn't a Atheist I would be thanking a god right now for that moment.
There are many more moments.These are not in order of their importance. Just thoughts out loud.
