Thursday morning greetings! We are home after a (scheduled) visit to our local hospital. Richard had a cervical epidural (steroid shot in the neck) at the pain center. Hopefully it will relieve the neck and shoulder pain he's had for the last several months. We've been to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and are now ready for naps.

TOD - The highlight of 1967 for me was my first trip, with my mother, to New York City. It was the summer between my junior and senior years of high school. Of course, later that summer Detroit experienced terrible riots and my senior year began with a 3-week teachers' strike. My parents decided to move out of Detroit as soon as I finished high school, so right before I went to Ann Arbor in 1968 for college they moved to the suburbs. And I landed smack dab in the middle of one of the hotbeds of student unrest, both anti-war and civil rights.

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep.

How do you do that! I am so tired and my eyes hurt from lack of sleep.

So far, DR GINNY wins the TOD Contest.

The summer of love? I was working summer theatre between junior and senior years of college. I was also taking a symmer school course in American history, as I recall.

I do remember the summer theatre season and even have a few photos. I lived in a house with three other summer theatre students and the house was "the" party place for the entire season. I think I averaged 4-6 hours of sleep a night, and when I got home in August, I went to bed and slept several days straight. The season was A Thurber Carnival, The Firebugs, The King Who Took Sunshine, and The King and I.

Great pictures, Larry!

DR ELMORE mentioned Martin Gottfried - I went to Amazon and ordered a used copy of his book Opening Nights: Theater Criticism of the Sixties.

It arrived yesterday. It was most entertaining.

Inside the book was a card from the publisher G.P. Putnam's Sons that read that they were happy to send this review copy and ask for a couple of quotes to be sent to a certain address - and the publication date 1/6/70.

Written on the inside cover page was "From the library of Arthur Laurents"......and with the same pen in the same handwriting, his birth & death years...

So who knows who wrote it or how they got it. I paid a whopping $1.99 for it.

That's pretty cool...assuming it really was "From the library of Arthur Laurents."

I got to the studio a little after 11:00 and we finished up around 1:30. I got home a little after 2:00 and lay down for a nap with Thatch.

Back from picking up a package and hearing nothing about books shipping. Work session in twenty minutes, then FOOD.

Forty three posts at almost 3:00 p.m. on the Left Coast?? Not cool.

TCB · « **Reply #44 on:** March 28, 2019, 02:53:09 PM »

Maybe the T.O.D. has scared people away from posting?

TCB · « **Reply #45 on:** March 28, 2019, 02:54:49 PM »

I guess 1967 was actually the Summer of Love. Like Ginny and Jack, I was still in high school, so there was little of the summer of love that affected me.

TCB · « **Reply #46 on:** March 28, 2019, 02:56:32 PM »

The summer of 1968, I was busy doing THE SOUND OF MUSIC (playing Rolf). Pretty tame summer.

TCB · « **Reply #47 on:** March 28, 2019, 02:59:59 PM »

The summer of 1969 was after my first year of college, and I convinced my mom to let me attend summer quarter at college. We did CARMEN and THE FANTASTICKS, and I also worked stage crew building (or trying to build) all the sets for CARMEN. Yes, 1969, did become the "summer of love" for me.

Thank you for all the positive vibes about the condo. No decision has been made yet.

I really don't how I am supposed to buy a home and still be able to eat?

Jane · « **Reply #52 on:** March 28, 2019, 03:10:03 PM »

In 1967 I graduated high school and 2 days later I was engaged to be married. I also moved out of my childhood home into my first apartment, and then into my second apartment. In June of 1969, after we returned from our honeymoon, I moved again into our first apartment.

1968 was less exciting except for the experience of watching my cat give birth to 3 kittens.

No.

Do you need to move, or do you just really want to?

TOD 1968 Finished LACC. Spent the summer going to love-ins in Griffith Park and hanging out on the Sunset Strip. Met Peter Tork of the Monkees. Waiting to start working at the phone company. Moved into my first apartment on the hill next to the Hollywood Bowl.
