Default My Memory

My strongest memory of Woodstock was walking up the road after parking in a farmer's field, tickets in hand (yes tickets), hearing Richie singing "Freedom." For some reason memories after that walk get hazy!

A person I worked with knew Richie thru his and her charity work in the New Haven area, so I told her to tell him as long as I was alive, someone would remember his finest hour!!!! He's now gone, but will be remembered as long as I'm here.

RIP
