Morgan Freeman's fair child???? 
(I think I need new bifocals!)
I always remember today for the phenomenal loss of talent we suffered. Thanks to Don McLean we have a name for it.

Morgan would be surprised what his "daughter's" real name is: Patsy Ann McClenny of Dallas.

I loved Ritchie Valens music, 'Oh Donna' was my favorite. Buddy Holly, I liked his music too, but I was only 8 years old, at that time. I had an older sister, that played their music constantly.
