Remember
Today is the fourth of May.
On this date in 1970, Ohio National Guardsmen murdered four students at Kent State. Best book on the subject is The Truth About Kent State by Peter Davies (1973). By careful analysis of photographs taken that day, Davies proves the killings were both unprovoked and premeditated.
On this date in 1991, Joseph died of AIDS. Joe was your author’s wife’s best friend in New York City. A prince among us.

I, too, had a friend named Joe who died of AIDS.
So young, so dear to all who knew him.
Someone who added a bit of laughter and sweetness to everyone's day.
Here's to fond remembrance of both friends Joe.
