(Beatles related) A once in a lifetime encounter

Hopefully this doesn't come off a little self-indulgent and I apologize if it does but I thought I'd share this fun anecdote I recently experienced that might interest any Beatles fans. My folks and I are currently on an extended cruise of the British Isles. I got to check off a few bucket list items such as visiting Abbey Road studios in London among other things. But while visiting Liverpool I had a truly surreal experience. We were on a pretty sweet Beatles tour hitting all the spots but when we visited Strawberry Fields I randomly ran into and met Julia Baird, John Lennon’s half-sister. She was there to introduce some Beatles tribute band that was scheduled to perform later that day. I was hesitant to bother her but our tour guide went right up to her and asked if I could have her sign her book she wrote that they sold in the gift shop. She was a pretty nice, down-to-earth lady and sitting next to her was Freda Kelly, Brian Epstein's former secretary. You could say that this has been a truly magical mystery tour.
