I was on South Beach when I saw the tabloid headline that John Lennon had been killed.  Proceeded to Miami Beach Convention Center grateful that I had the K of all K's.

On December 9, 1980 I had just sat down at a table in the Miami Beach convention center.  It
was at a table since this program included a light dinner.  Someone I knew then came over to me to tell me the terrible news about John Lennon...

I was at that dinner party in the convention center.  It was a birthday celebration for Rawat.  I was living in the Gainesville Florida ashram, having been shipped there after I got sick at DECA, where I had been working for a year.  I was sick and miserable at the time.

As for John Lennon's death, I didn't hear anything about it until a week or so after his murder.  I was working at an insurance agency part time.  I happened to look down at the receptionist's desk and saw a Time magazine cover of John Lennon.  I couldn't believe it.  Nobody in the ashram had said anything about John Lennon's death!

I have (had) a friend from the DECA days also an ashram member.  He lived w/ me in the late 80's and was still paying down ashram debt that he felt he was responsible for from those days....So glad, I liked women or I would have joined up....David Smith and Randy Prouty tried to sign me up to the program.

I was out by then.  I was either enlisted or was about
to enlist in the military.  Was in basic training the following
spring.

I read Carlos Casteneda a year or two later (as
well as Kerouac).  Took Casteneda kind of seriously.

I had a lot of junk thinking to reject -- I don't think I
was anywhere near done collecting junk thinking,
come to think of it.
