Heard it on the radio on the way to see Star Wars. Mom pulled the car over on the side of the interstate crying. Me and my brother didn't get it.

I penciled it on the kitchen door jamb when it flashed across the news. 3:45pm 16 August, 1977 if my memory is correct.

My mom and I had pulled into the parking lot of the drugstore. I remember her turning the car and stopping on the side of the building. I couldn't figure out why we didn't go park. At the time I didn't understand why she was so immediately emotional.

Still do. Highly recommend the candlelight vigil for the entertainment value.

Oh yeah, I've been at least a couple of times, it is highly entertaining. I went to that a couple of weeks before I moved away from Memphis long ago, we were sitting in the middle of Elvis Presley Blvd drinking quarts of beer. I know this is terrible, we used doughnuts as candle holders.

We had checklists for different Elvis impersonators. Tall, little, kid, black, woman, etc.

There’s a more graphic video on YouTube showing the people stuck in the exit door about a minute before the whole building went up in flames. It’s really disturbing knowing that most of them are about to die.

Aw, man… I understand his love for the old J3 aircraft. So sorry he couldn’t avoid the building and bring it down safely.

Dang, that’s sad. RIP. I had a lot of hours in a Cub; sweet little plane. Broke my hand propping one (wooden prop.)
