I was in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada in a (literally) corner drug store. I was 13 and on vacation with my family. It was the day after his death and the first time we'd been in town since we were camping in a nearly empty campground. I read the news on the front page of the paper while standing in line to by Freshen Up Gum (the gum that squirts....)

In the car with my mom. It was a '72 Cutlass and we heard the news on the radio. Mom didn't say anything, just turned the radio off. Silence for a long while.
