#KISStory:9/17/1996 Miami. The #KISS#Reunion / #AliveWorldwide tour hits town. What a special time. My First reunion show was St Louis show number three 7/2/96. Damn they had a hell of a time w / the intro to #KOTNW. We were kept from going to our seats as they ran thru rehearsal 4-5 times as I remember.
Anyhow. I also remember the emotions in the crowd at my show. Emotional wrecks.
What a time to be a #KISS fan….

Pictured here is Willemien Rieken. She was only 9 years old when she first began laying flowers on the grave of William Edmond, a British soldier who fought and died to liberate her Dutch Village.
From the day he died, and for 75 years, she looked after his grave and kept his memory alive.
During WWII, William served with the 1st Airborne Reconnaissance Squadron and took part in the Battle of Arnhem in the Netherlands. Sadly, on September 17, 1944, he was shot in the back by a German sniper and fell to the ground.
One of his comrades, St David Christie, rushed to his aid, but nothing could be done to save William. Seconds before dying, he said to David: "Tell my wife I love her." This British soldier was then buried at the Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery.
Willemien Rieken passed away in 2020. She was one of the last surviving Flower Children, young people who laid flowers at hundreds of graves of Allied casualties in a ceremony after the end of the war.
Niall Cherry, secretary of the Arnhem 1944 Fellowship, said: "She was one of the last surviving Dutch civilian links to the Battle of Arnhem. Willemien was a lovely lady who tended to the grave of Trooper Edmund for many years. She will be sadly missed."
NEW: California is getting wrecked by a massive snow storm with winds reaching up to 190mph and estimates of more than 10 feet of snow.
The conditions were so bad that hundreds of vehicles got stuck overnight on the I-80.
Some reports estimate that the weekend snowfall will reach 12 feet with *another* couple feet expected early next week.
#KISStory : part one. Gene on the
Toni Tennile talk show. Taped 11/27/78. I’m unsure if this EVER aired. Any how a GREAT look into the momentous heyday time. Someone took me to task over a Paul Stanley KissQuotes I recently did. Paul had said Gene using I instead of we( does not here) BUT. Does he correct her when she says he is Co Founder and LEADER of #KISS? Most likely WROTE that intro. No. Also🤣😂I’m preeeety sure this is almost 1979 and WE HAVE HEARD GENE SPEAK ON NATIONWIDE TV🤣😂‼️Starting on April 74 Mike Douglas.
