I read a tattered 10 cent paperback edition of "Reds: 10 Days That Shook The World" in high school, which I knew was tied in with some kind of movie (which I hadn't seen), but was basically the original... amazing first hand account of the revolution in Russia and it's immediate aftermath. So tragic that he died an early death. :(

Yes, I fell in love with that book and John Reed’s story. Talk about “you are there.”
I know. I wish so much he had lived and we could talk to him now about his memories
You got your kicks on Route 66
Back in those days, it WAS Route 66! Jeez, I wonder what happened to that guy. A vet who was suicidal for sure.
I took the same route in 71, stayed with Jack and Stephanie when we got to Detroit. Didn’t you also?
Aw, I wish. No, they weren’t my “hosts” but of course I got to know them as the story progresses. You’ll see a big jump next week.
