Subject: RE: Obit: Jackie Washington, 1919 - 2009
He was an unforgettable man... I remeber when we first met, I said 'So you're Jackie Robinson ?" He laughed and said , "No, I'm not that famous or fast... pleased to meet you, I really like your guitar playing" I had the opportunity to spend some time with him 10 yrs ago at the Northern Lights Festival in Sudbury..
When the shows were over on the Sat. nite... several of us hung out in the cafeteria at the university where we were staying... Jackie got out his guitar and played for hours... I hated to leave but had to get up early for a long drive...
Rest in peace
