I can remember sitting in his car, in the rain, listening to it on the am radio...what great memories that song stirs up! <br /><br />Oh wow, you're coming to Savannah! I live just over an hour away from there! In fact, hubby and I used to live there...way back in the 70's.Kathyhttp://www.edshunnybunny.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241655384336418209.post-26946198608496578842011-06-15T09:01:31.108-07:002011-06-15T09:01:31.108-07:00Connie, I agree.

I remember Expo 1970 - the bullet train, walking into China from Hong Kong and being escorted back by a Chinese soldier with a machine gun... the bridge of the river Kwai.. the filth of the canals in Thailand... the beauty of Mount Fiji... coconuts.. and monkies in the trees outside a hotel window... riding an elephant... gosh it all comes pouring back...<br /><br />You looked like Barbara Feldon...

My husband and I graduated from Durham High in 1970 and stayed in the area for college. I was planning my big move out of the house into a dorm in Chapel Hill in the summer of 1970 and he was planning to move down the street to Duke. What wonderful times.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915948349223137648noreply@blogger.com
