This is in honor of my sister in-law, she use to be a flower child when she was in her teens. She has been a prison guard for almost 16 years and she has never grown out of the era of dress..... ?????

I first arrived in Pennsylvania in the early seventies, and being a son of a soldier my hair was always cut GI style. Kids would tease me and call me hippie. Thanks for the read.

This is a lovely three-liner Eve! Takes me back to my teens. "If you're going to San Francisco" still lingers in my mind! Enjoyed those days, but never really overstepped the line:) // paul
