Thanks for posting this video! I still have the original 45 rpm record of this recording with the song, "The Happiest Day Of My Life" on the flip side. Good memories! Would you please tell me what year you recorded this? 197??? Miss Abrams and the Strawberry Point School Third Grade Class! :) Love it!

HI Cheryl--It was 1970, and I can't believe how many people still remember it. Where were you at the time?

[PhoenixaSol]

Thank you so much for writing and sharing this darling song! It's wrapped in so many memories from living in northern California all of my life, including a cute version our camp counselors made that referenced our day camp!

[Rita Abrams]

Thanks for letting me know! Glad your memories are happy ones.

[Rita Abrams]

Aww. Love the camp song. So honored to be imitated!! Thank you.

[Sophia McGrath]

Lots of memories

[Rita Abrams]

For me too--and I'm still here!

[Harry Krebs]

I remember when. Very nice, thank you. Video directed by Francis Ford Coppola? Wow.

Rita,

If fate would have been nudged a bit, I would have been living atop Mt. Tamalpais at the Mill Valley Air Force Station when your song was playing on the radio but my dad's orders were change at the last minute. What an experience that would have been living in the area back in 1970. Since then, I lived in a number of states and three other countries. I'm happy to be living in the bay area now and I think of this song whenever I get to Marin. The song still rings true. Thanks again.

Takes me back to a wonderful time

Thank-you and President Obama for your uplifting words.

The little boy who died would've been right at home in Mill Valley.

His Mother, Mrs.Richard, is also an Educator. They are from my old neighborhood in the Dorchester section of Boston .

Where did you live, study, and work when you were here ?

Many Californians visit to 'run' Boston each year and are always welcome.

However, Rita , You are a True Sister of our City ! God Bless,  'Boston Jack' Glynn
