That was the summer of 1963, when everybody called me "Baby", and it didn't occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came -- when I couldn't wait to join the Peace Corps, and I thought I'd never find a guy as great as my dad. That was the summer we went to Kellerman's.Yes, the Beatles still had not come to the USA. So, what were they doing during those days? I studied a website called The Beatles Bible. I will start a week before the Housemans' vacation.
