James Dean died 50 years ago today at the age of 24 ...
"The Dean of Immortality"
When I was a teen and into my early college years, I had a thing for James Dean. The walls of my room were covered with his image from posters, pictures and a calendar.
I never knew exactly where he died. I just remember seeing a photo of his smashed-up Porsche. There is a memorial at the junction of Highways 41 and 46 in Cholame in San Luis Obispo County. Was just in that area last year. If I had known I was so close, I would have stopped there. Will have to make another drive down that way soon.
"A Lasting Tribute"
The random and not-so-random thoughts of a Korean-American, 30-something copy editor as she rambles and babbles through life, enforcing rules of punctuation, grammar and capitalization.
