1977
When I look at this photo I get such a 70’s feel. This pic is from the summer of 1977 at camp Winnebago, it’s in Rockaway near Splitrock. One of these days I should have Utah take me over to the Boy Scout camp. I could show him the lake we swam in, the mess hall and where our camp was.
I’m not sure I love the summer of 77 because I was 11 or the fact that I was at summer camp for a week followed by 2 weeks on vacation in Long Beach Island with my family. Probably a combo of both, being 11 is like the perfect age. I was at camp when the NYC blackout occurred. That July was brutally hot but I remember sleeping with a blanket at night, it was cooler in the woods. This was also the summer when the Son of Sam murders occurred. I don’t usually remember stuff like this but for some reason these events standout in my mind.
1977 was the most 70’s year, I’ll also add that 1986 was the most 80’s year. I don’t have the data to back this up, it’s based solely on a feel I get. Other decades don’t give me a vibe like the 70’s and 80’s, I guess because I grew up in these decades. If I was Pearl I’d get a 90’s vibe, the 90’s are like my 70’s to him. Does this make sense?
Overall I’d say we all thought we were bad asses back then, even the geeks. The Bad News Bears is a pretty accurate depiction of kids in the 70’s and adults for that matter…this is just a random thought I had to go along with the 70’s theme. Well anyway I’m the kid in the front row 2nd from the left. I have my body turned so you only see the side of my face. My twin brother is sitting next to me, 3rd from the left in the front row…he’s the one that looks like me. When I look at this picture I think of that quote, The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Don’t axe me to explain this, I’ve already wrote enough stuff.
