Maureen - The Be-In and the Woodie

• Be-In - Belmont Plateau - the people, the music, the joy
• Earth Day - 1970 - I worked at Rohm & Haas and our bosses let us leave early to celebrate on Independence Mall across the street
• casts on, casts off
• Rosie's cast-off party til the wee hours of the morn
• Joanne planning her wardrobe for the T-Bar Christmas party the day after the Christmas party the night before
• Ouija boards at Candy's - they told us our boyfriends names and how we would all be married within the year
• 10 speeds
• smell of leaves burning
• thinking piles of leaves were like puffy, soft white clouds and bouncing into them - ouch
• taking the boat out with Terry and breaking every law of the sea
• poker nights with Kevin in Cape May
• Mommie joined the Ladies Club - plays and lots of singing
• waking at Grandmother's during the holidays to the perfume scents from Kakki's room as she and Eileen prepared to go to work
• exploring Fairmount Park with Colleen, Lyn, and Cathy
• mystery books
• fountain pens, ink wells, nibs
• Fr Finnerty
• coal in our stockings
• laughing at ourselves before someone else did
• the "Woodie" station wagon - Mommie loved that car
• bunk beds
• Joy
