It was August 2nd 1979.......just another summer day for a 15 yr.old youth in Fort Plain, until I saw the 6 o'clock news on WTEN-10 and then sportscaster; Rip Rowan announced that Thurman Munson was killed just a short time ago in a plane crash. I could not believe what I heard and was devasted. At that time in my life, I didn't have any close members of my family or friends die suddenly or could I believe that someone this young could be gone. It was a feeling that I never had until this point.
