I was at the dress rehearsal. That night I was on call for surgery as a 4th year med student at LAC-USC. The surgeons in OR asked who lit the flame. The LA Olympics were so well organized. Jim McKay talked incessantly.

The music played during the flame entry and torch lighting is "The Olympian" by composer Philip Glass. What an enthusiastic torch lighting ceremony. Rafer Johnson was a great pick for lighting the cauldron. UCLA athletic legend, gold medal decathlete and prominent Southern Californian.

I was there. Well I was in the park. Overhearing a young mother explain to her daughter how historic this was, how the world had changed in the past 20, 30 years. And they were there.
