Good-bye June

I was shocked and saddened by the news that June Pointer, the youngest member of the Pointer Sisters, died of cancer at UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica today. She was only 52-years old.

I loved the Pointer Sisters the way I loved the Beatles, but June was my favorite of the group. I still play their music, dancing around the kitchen while we cook the evening meal. I can't sit still when I hear Automatic, Fire, He's So Shy, or the Neutron Dance.

It's depressing to think that, like the Beatles, the Pointer Sisters can never get together again. Good-bye June.
