“Mama told us he was going to be gone, and it was going to be really cold where he was going,” she said.Ritchie was only 17 years old when he died in the plane crash. Connie, originally from California, makes sure she always makes it back to Clear Lake on this weekend. She remembers the first time she stepped foot in the Surf Ballroom.
“I walked to the middle of the ballroom. I could just feel his presence. I walked to the stage, and put my hands on it, and for me at that moment, he was there. I just bent over and wept,” she said.Copyright 2023 KTTC. All rights reserved.
