Here’s the link to 1985 Wimbledom championships:

And I was wrong, Live Aid was July 13 but in any case, Chris and I both missed it even though we were in Philadelphia and London respectively.

Ah yes. The Philadelphia version of Live Aid took place at JFK in 100 degree weather, and rather than joining the throngs of the dehydrated and sun-poisoned, Fryer and I watched on Church St., where it couldn’t have been a degree above 90. A colossal wimp-out which induces cringes to this day…

How well I remember and it was your resourcefulness that got us in. I was sure that it would be futile to look around for another entrance. We, also, saw Chrissie Evert’s husband (was it John LLoyd?) I believe. We saw Martina playing in doubles and the other hot American man at that time playing in singles (can’t think of his name but it was John —– I think).
