Back in 1975, Lee Hewitt was in the Vista program. It's like the Peace Corps, but the volunteers serve within the U.S.A. Stationed in Lincoln, Nebraska, she worked at a health center for the poor, providing various services, planned parenthood, and running a drug addiction hotline. It was there that she met a woman with whom she became close.
One day they were driving to a concert, stopped off at bar and went in for a drink. Her girlfriend decided to dedicate the song Desperado by The Eagles to her, because Lee was having a tough time, dealing with her father passing, and letting herself be loved in her first adult relationship.
She is a lot different today, but this song always brings a smile to her face, and fond memories of a friend who helped.
