Happy Birthday John

Today would have been John Lennon's 69th birthday. How interesting it would have been to see where his creative life went..but that was not to be. His life cut short at age 40, I will never forget that day. I still recall the memorial gathering I went to on the quad of the University of Illinois campus, tears falling freely.
I remember Yoko, so small and without her lover, friend and husband. How horrid it must have been to see him gunned down by a psychopath who shall ever remain nameless as he rots in prison.
But today in SL a very special ceremony will take place. The Imagine Peace tower which Yoko created in real life in Iceland, has been recreated in SL by Bernard Herzog, sponsored by Yoko and will be officially opened today by Yoko herself. I was honored to have been able to create a black suit, like one she has worn in RL, for her. I was stunned yesterday to receive an IM from Yoko thanking me. I look forward to being at the ceremony today.
Pictures to come later.

I am thinking of wearing this new outfit...
