Feb 23 1980 is a day I remember as if it was yesterday.
I got lucky and scored a couple of tickets for a Broadway show through the USO in NYC. I took a girl I was seeing at the time and when it was over, we were waiting on a subway platform for the train back to Brooklyn. A few Puerto Ricans came down and started to harass me for being with one of their own. One came at me with a knife forcing me back making her and I fall off the platform. With no time to get to the ladder to get back on the platform, we started to crawl into the space underneath the platform. I made it but she didn't.
If I could knowing what I do today, I would get a cab instead.
If she had lived, the two of us would have been married several months later

Raynew, So sorry for the pain that the sad ending to that day must cause you....
