Ken Southerland

March 23, 1991 Saturday

I met Ken Southerland at the Mustang Bar tonight. He was a 1962 graduate from Atwater High School. He knows my Dad. Said he was the only nice teacher. He said the other teachers bossed the kids—fear factor. Ken was still angry about that. We exchanged phone numbers. He caressed my hand. That was OK.

My margin note to the above:

April 29, 1991

Ken just called from the court house. He’s on a jury. It’s touching that he would call at such a vulnerable moment. At least as I see it. He tried once before to take me out to lunch, he said. My answering machine did my talking for me. Both times, I need to think and feel this out”

End of entries

Note: 12/15/2024

Both of my parents taught at Atwater High School (AHS) in Atwater, California. They brought my sister Zoe and I out here from their home in Lincoln Nebraska to start work at the high school in1959. I graduated from AHS in 1973. 

It was amazing for me tonight to fid this entry in which I first met Ken! I have no independent memory of our first meeting. The Mustang Bar which is now closed, was a gay bar out on 9th Street in Modesto, California. It was located in kind of an industrial area. It was a drag bar. Country bar feel to it inside: lots of dark woods and dim lighting. Owned by a woman named Shirley. She was beautiful, in her 60’s or 70’s and a gracious host.

Ken liked me more than I liked him, but we were friends for years. I do remember one evening when, while I was lying on the floor in his house, he sprinkled rose petals all around me!

On July 4, 2004, Ken was standing outside the White Elephant Bar in Modesto when a man struck him causing Ken to fall back and hit his head on the side walk . Ken died within a day from the blow to his head. His assailant was arrested and prosecuted. .

Huge tragedy. Ken was a hair dresser in town and a great guy.. 

In 1991, we had no" I phones". We had land line phones which you could connect to a phone answering machine. A person calling could leave a message on a cassette tape installed in the phone.

The wind rattles against the walls outside, and the windows ache under the raging storm in the dark of night. It does not matter. Belle closes her eyes as her body lays still while her heart races painfully delighted.

Love how he's surrounded by his glorious empire. Everything reshaped in his glorious vision. Not an inch of nature can be seen, showing his domination of it. 😍

Happy 33rd anniversary to the Sonic series but most importantly, happy birthday to EGGMAN! 💜🥚🎂
