Tribute To Cynthia Lennon & Meeting Her
Tribute To Cynthia Lennon & Meeting Her
By Alan L. Chrisman
Cynthia Lennon, Johns 1st. wife, passed away April 1, 2015 at the
age of 75 after a battle with cancer. Id always wanted to meet
her and in 1994, I got my wish. Someone had told me of a
Beatles Convention in Stamford , Connecticut and she was one of
the main guests.
I had never been to a Beatles Convention before, but my fellow
student and friend, Al Whyte, and I had just completed a course
about putting on events and our twos school project (only a
fantasy) had been to do a Beatles Convention. So we had a
chance to actually go to one and also meet, as I say, John
Lennons wife. I had read her book, Twist of Lennon, and could
picture what it must have been like before they were very wellknown in those early Beatles days in Liverpool.
her too.
