It's the Summer of Love and You're Still the One!



Events leading up to and during the reunion. June-September 1967.

[Toast]

In 1967, story Ennis confessed to Jack about the actual cause of his gut cramps in 1963:

"That summer," said Ennis. "When we split up after we got paid out I had gut cramps so bad I pulled over and tried to puke, thought I ate somethin bad at that place in Dubois. Took me about a year a figure out it was that I shouldn't a let you out a my sights. Too late then by a long, long while."

Ennis used a ball-point pen to write out his postcard in reply to Jack's.

The boys had a long-standing crush on each other; in fact,  as they embraced, they proceeded to literally crush each other.

Ennis dillydallied all day, smoking and drinking, waiting for Jack to show up for their reunion.

Ennis will only be with Jack way out in the middle of nowhere because he's afraid of encountering murderous homophobes.

Alma patiently made small talk and took care of the girls as her fidgeter of a husband waited for his friend to show.

[Toast]

After Jack had arrived and Ennis sprang into action, Alma was shocked by a sight that grated on her for a long time:

Her husband in the loving arms of a ... man.

Ennis had no hesitations in answering Jack's postcard with "You Bet."

Alma's face registers incomprehension after she witnesses the reunion kiss.
