I was in nursing school that summer we were at St Christopher's children's hospital in Phila. OMG - it was smack in the middle of a terrible ghetto.We literally never left our dorm except to walk thru a tunnel to the hospital. We were there 3 months - June, july and august. So we totally had no summer in our lives that year.
I was dating a sailor who was sent to Viet Nam in May "67 so I wouldn't have had much fun that summer anyway. He came home from Viet Nam - summer '68 and his ship docked in San Francisco. His tour was up and he left the ship and disappeared - I never saw or heard from him again until he sent me a friend request on FB a few years ago.
We kept hearing about the Haight Asbury thing and the flower children etc, but we were so isolated that summer ! We didn't even have a TV.
@151949 did he ever explain why he disappeared like that and never wrote or called you until the friend request?
I did not accept the friend request so I have no idea.
Oh ok, I understand you not accepting that. I was just so curious as to why he did that @151949.

Did you think he got shanghaied or something?

He was on the same ship as my brother and they were pals, that is how I met him.My brother's job was , in part, to search for guys who have gone AWOL, but this Chuck was not AWOL , his enlistment was over.My brother sorta casually looked for him as a friend but found no sign of him. He did call his room mate in Norfolk at one point and ask him to "sell all my stuff and send me the money". And that was the last anyone heard of him til a couple years ago.

No, it was 1 2 3 4 what are we fighting for.

Don't ask me I don't give a d#m.

Next stop is Vietnam

And it's 5 6 7 open up the Pearly gates

Well there ain't no time to wonder why

Whoopee we're all gonna die.

That's the verse. I was a big Country Joe fan

I can't imagine actually living in San Francisco during that time and surviving the peer pressure. I know that there is a terrible homeless problem there with human excrement on the streets. Wonder what will become of them for the Summer of Love 2017?
