1969
– The Summer of Love Continued
Prologue - The Parkway Murders
Just as the Labor Day 1964 murder – political
assassination of Harry Anglemeyer set the stage for the Summer of ’65, the
Memorial Day 1969 weekend Parkway murders were an ominous beginning to the
sequel, set four years later at the same location – in the immediate vicinity
of the Somers Point Circle crossroads.
Just as many of those who spent the summer of ’65 at
the Jersey Shore and then moved on to the next chapter in their lives – back to
school, work, the concert trail, Vietnam, other new blood came to town, mostly
blue blood, upper middle class college kids, not looking for an answer to
life’s key questions, just looking for a good time, and most found it there.
