A diffrent West Point (West Point Boys Military Academy) Charlie though it was a prep point for those thinking of a military future. At 14, so it would've been 1965, I was field stripping Machine guns & practicing with live ammo. I shutter, it's no wonder I became a hippie as soon as I got home. I didn't stay long, it just wasn't me.

Sorry for drifting again

Mary, you're off by a year, the "Summer of Love " was 1967, I missed it by a year & ended up in Haight-Ashbury in 68'. The term was widely in use by then but I can't think of when I 1st heard it, though it was well before that.
