A Hazy Yellow Feeling
I had an uncle named Tom. An aunt named Robbie. Four cousins I never really got to know. In 1972, they were killed when a bomb destroyed a passenger jet over Vietnam.
When I tell people this, they half don't believe me. I suppose that's fine. Our family just kind of grew up with it.
A Hazy Yellow Feeling is their story. And ours. For what it's worth.
