I didn’t go personally to see the “Royals in Front Royal.” In my condition, I can’t stand in a crowd for five hours. But I had my fair share of these adventures 30-45 years ago when I was young and healthy: Baseball World Series, rock concerts, and then — of course — the Pope (John Paul II), many times, in Denver (World Youth Day 1993), in Rome, in Mexico.
The Front Royal Janaros were well represented at this occasion. Eileen went with our daughter-in-law Emily and two of the grandkids. John Paul was there. Jojo was there. It was a unique day in the history of this little town in the Shenandoah Valley. It sounds like they had a lot of fun, and that things in general went relatively smoothly.
For “historical purposes,” I want to record on the blog that it did in fact happen.
