1970

It was the year of `Spirit in the Sky.’ I kept your picture, Irene. Norman Greenbaum has his own webpage now, imagine that? Your grainy wedding photograph (cut at the time from a local newspaper), has emerged again as a yellow submarine. Your rainbow stockings still fly from that long-abandoned vessel, now all we need is to peer together from the same periscope.
