What a great song. It came out in 1973. Little did I know it would come true for me one day. Although it took a lot more than one summer. I met Penny when I was 16, and she was 30. It was the summer of 1977. We eventually ended up working the vast majority of our EMS careers together as EMT/Paramedic partners for decades. We were a great team on and off duty, building a successful life together. I knew Penny for 43 great years. We lived together for 30 years, married 15 of them (I was her second husband). Unfortunately, she passed away suddenly in May 2020. I can tell you they don't women like Penny anymore. I love and miss you, my wonderful wife. But life goes on. What wonderful bitter sweet memories this song brought back for me.

This song brings back memories for me. I was 25 living a block away from the beach, Huntington Beach CA. I had just got home from work. It was a overcast cloudy day. For some reason, something inside me was telling me to go down to the beach. I went down, it was deserted. I was just hanging out watching the surf. Then way down the beach to the south of me. I saw a figure walking my way. The figure was too far to even see if it was male or female. As it got closer, I could see it was a female. But she was still to far away to see much of her other then she had silky long dark hair. Trying not to look at her make her feel weird. I looked out at the ocean. Then I heard a woman's voice. I turned to her, looked at her. She was a gorgeous woman with a warm perfect smile. We talked and laugh for close to a half hour enjoying each others company. Then she said she had to get heading home. I ask if she lived far away. Just my luck. She lived on 11th st. The same street as me, but closer to the ocean. I walked her home. When we got to her place. She said: Wait here for a minute, I'll be back out. She came out handed me her phone number. Ask that I call her before I went over. She was a beautiful woman, I will never forget her. I can only remember her first name was Cindy.

The summer of 1942 was a great period piece of a film and I love it so much. It is so bitter sweet that it hurts, but I can’t stop watching. I bought it on Prime, my guilty pleasure, to watch a bygone age. My 83 year old mum loves it too x
@markberryhill27153 ай бұрын
Totally agree,and I'll bet you will agree with me on this. It reminds me of "A Summer Place" with Sandra Dee and Troy Donohue. The movie 🎥 isn't considered a masterpiece/academy award winner by critics,but it's almost a symbol,and an anthem for an era that can never be duplicated again,and now it,and it's theme song have become legends in music and filmlore timepieces.

I love this song and I'm 66. I heard this song as a young man and it inspired some background for 4 characters I was writing about. They were kind of like Young Detectives or something. Hardy Boys inspired, but more physical. They all had their own fighting styles. I know no one cares. The 4 guys were Chinese, White, Black, and Latino. The Black guy was named Billy Ray.
