    I'll never forget August, 1965....
    I was visiting my great-aunt, an
    aging doctor, living in Watts.
    The neighborhood was blazing day and night.
    The shopkeeper next door was shot and
    stumbled to his death
    in our backyard. It was a surreal experience to
    live through. Thinking back on it...It seems
    so far away.

    I was at Hollywood Park Racetrack In Inglewood.It was Opening day for some reason i knew they were going to be found not guilty so i took a transistor radio with me just in case the verdicts came in and they did were found not guilty just had a feeling there would be riots so left.The new freeway was not built yet so i had to drive back to San Dimas went the long way around instead of going up Manchester to 110 went to lax and around.Got home went to sleep because i was working nights back then when i got to work found out what was happining.My buddy called me at work i remember and told me what had happened to Reginald Denny.Still to this day have not seen the tape.

    Got off the train from Del Mar at Union Station in L.A., and my ride home told me there's
    shooting at City Hall, just a couple blocks away. A memorable day indeed.
