Atlantic City

When Kristie & I were in the 8th grade, we went with her parents to Atlantic City for a week. Gary Lewis and the Playboys were performing on the Steel Pier. They had just released their hit single, This Diamond Ring. Kristie and I sat on the front row for each of their shows. We never even saw the beach. Somehow pre Internet, even pre computers we found out where they were staying and walked into the hotel in our bathing suits. Back then we looked good, or at least thought we did. Those guys were so nice to us. They invited us to join them for breakfast and signed autographs for us. Where were cell phones when we needed them? I never hear their songs that I don't laugh and think of Kristie. I haven't seen my friend for awhile simply because I assumed we had time to catch up. I'll miss you my dear friend.
