SIXTEENTH OF JUNE

Today is the Sixteenth of June.

On this date in 1965, Sgt. Joe Friday and Detective Bill Gannon arrested a man who had trained all of his dogs to snatch purses.
('Dragnet')

Two years later, the "Summer Of Love" unofficially kicked off with the Monterey Pop Festival.

That same June 16 of 1967 also marked the birth of one Andrew Joseph O'Brien, my youngest brother.

Forty years old today and in my mind (what's left of it), he's still the 12 year old kid running around on Westhampton Beach with me afraid for him tangling with the Undertoad.....

Happy B'day, AJ!

BCnU!
