(Repost from July 2009) Remembering the time back in high school, it was Yakima’ s West Valley High for me. We all tried our best to moon walk up and down the halls playing Michael Jackson on the boom box, well some of us. A few had there red and black Michael Jackson leather coat on with a Michael Jackson T-shirt. It was a blast. What pop star did you connect with in high school? Do you remember the time when (just visualize a very special time in your life) you did this or that?
I look back now and I realize that in many towns and cities everyone danced together and the lines of separation were broken. As kids we had fun listening to great music and learning creative dance. Looking back at this time in my life it has inspired me to create the “remember the time” photo clock featuring Michael Jackson and many other customizations in our photo clock gallery. I will always remember the times that Michael Jackson added to high school fun and filled those days with great memories.
A new generation has picked up on the legacy of the greatest entertainer of all time? Just play Micheal’s music. the younger generations listen and love it as we did. My daughter was listening to the radio and asked who was singing the song playing. We told her his name, and she went home and Goggled Michael Jackson, she learned all she could about him. That he is one of a kind and a legend that transformed pop culture to what it is today. He also created comfort between the cultures world wide.
His music inspired her to sing a few of his songs in competitions around the Yakima valley. We recently went to Gary In. to visit family there. My daughter insisted on going to see the house Michael lived in as a small child 2300 Jackson st. She took pictures and it meant so much to her.

On June 25, 2009 the Lord took Michael Jackson home. Michael spread love, joy and peace world wide through his example and his musical message. If you don’t know Michael listen to his songs. He also pioneered action against world hunger through his music. Michael was a genius in his time and just like Einstein he was much misunderstood. I will always remember the time, Michael.
