He is still dead. And I’m right here.
As was my habit, I went out on a training run (I was a marathoner back then), before we broke camp and drove to our next stop.
I was running along the highway overlooking the ocean and decided to take a break and take in the view at a pull off/overlook.
As I was standing there enjoying the view of ocean, a couple in a car drove up next to me and said they just heard on the radio that Elvis had died.
Though no real fan of Elvis at the time, I remember that moment like it was yesterday.
