July 28, 1974
We left at about 1:30 for Reinbolt. We went to see Grandma's grave. Went inside the church. It was a different feeling to go into a small church with no crowds of people. I said a prayer in there for our safety. Rlynne was playing the organ and looking through books. I asked her if she had any respect. She told me to quit trying to act holy.
That's how I want to try to act.
From the present:
The movie Jesus Christ Superstar had left a big impact on me. Mango and I saw it eight times in our small theatre's three day run.
Okay, maybe I should say Ted Neeley's portrayal of Jesus left a big impact on me, but nonetheless the religious reaction was as real and sincere as fifteen year old Carol could be but unfortunately the desire for holiness didn't last.

Sounds like you really relished it. My high school performed part of it but I've never seen the movie. Saw Hollywood Bollywood tho. I agree it was worth mentioning.
I've taken a page out of your book blog to hunt up old photos from my childhood. So far there's less than a half dozen but it's a start.
Have a great week.
