Yesterday when I attended a rally in support of democracy organized by Indivisible, it was the occasion for memories of past times.
Shortly after I arrived at the federal building venue for the rally, Bernadette Mudd approached me. Pat Mudd was a best friend and a seminary classmate before he married Bernadette. I had not seen her since Pat’s funeral. It was good to connect again with that part of my past.Before Bernadette saw me at the rally, I was standing with the others and reflecting how, 50+ years ago, I was in almost the spot as a marshal for a rally and march with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on one of his visits to Louisville during the civil rights era. I have had the good fortune and opportunity to be in the right place at the right time for some significant events.
