Gone But Not Forgotten

Throwback Thursday. Had occasion yesterday to drive east on Washington St. into the city and found myself in somewhat familiar place as I hit the stop sign on Aberdeen, one block west of Carpenter Street. To my left, what was once Harpo Studios (now McDonald's Corporate Headquarters), and on the south side of the street, is where the studios of Oprah Radio were located, which now appear to be condos. I have a ton of memories from my years working on the Oprah & Friends Satellite project, and then I remembered what happened just around this time of year back in 2008, when we had an uninvited visitor show up. It might be one of the most bone-chilling, hair-raising, and unexplained experiences in my life, which was also witnessed by three other people.   "Neils Petersen will not be forgotten."
