Big thanks goes out yet again to Kevin at WGYTTN. He has been on the ball with these Lennon photos and I have been quite the slacker the past few months. I need to get back on my A-game. Kevin sent me this newspaper article and I really appreciate it!

The Day a Singapore girl caught Lennon shopping at the Metro
New Nation: Saturday

Recognize him?
Yes. It’s John Lennon, the former
Beatle who posed for this picture with airgirl Jzenea Foo in Singapore last
month.
Lennon was “caught” shopping at Metro Golden Mile by Jzenea,
a Singapore airline flight stewardess.
“I was shopping with a friend when I saw a tall man at one
of the counters. I thought he looked
extremely familiar, so I went up to him and asked him if he was John Lennon,”
said Jzenea. “When he said ‘yes’ I
was so excited.”
“I almost lost my voice, but very quickly I asked my friend,
who was carrying a camera, to take a picture of us. He was very nice about it and obliged by
going to a corner for a photo,” she said.
“Later when he was going down by the escalator, my friend
and I were behind him. He turned around
and asked, ‘are you following me?’”
“I think he was afraid of being seen by the public,” said
Jzenea.
Lennon was later traced to the Hyatt Hotel where he had
checked in under the name of John Girskin.
He was alone and stayed for five days.
According to a source in the hotel, Lennon gave strict
instructions not to disclose his stay here to the press.
He said he was on a private visit and did not want to be
disturbed.
Fantastic, beautiful pic!!
