I knew Hod Pharis and his first wife, Audrey, and babysat their two boys. This was in Coleman Alberta, or Crowsnest pass as it is known now.
Hod actually wrote this song about/for Audrey, as she was waiting in the 'Pass for the following summer/spring when they were to be married.
Audrey was born in Coleman and attended school there - after her and Hod were divorced she moved back to Coleman so she could live near her Mother (2 or 3 doors away) Audrey worked in the Coleman Post Office for many, many years.
