Chapter 26 In October 1964, the Summer Olympics were held in Tokyo. In that same month, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., received the Nobel Peace Prize. The St. Louis Cardinals became World Champions beating the heavily favored New York Yankees in the Seventh fame of the World Series. China detonated its first nuclear weapon. The Star of India was stolen from the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Nikita Krushchev赫魯雪夫 was removed as leader of the Soviet Union. And in October 1964, Cork O’Connor lost his father.

 In his memory, his life until then had been

happy. But one cool fall day, when the oak leaves were a stunning russet赤褐色 against a startling blue sky, when the cry of migrating Canadian geese chorused over Iron Lake, when the evening air was full of the scent of wood smoke curling from the chimneys of Aurora, everything changed. Changed over the course of a few hours. Changed, in fact, in a single instant. Changed forever with the final beat of his father’s heart.
