Shirley, The Pond would be remiss if it didn''t mention a new reader from Hawaii. Welcome, Shirley. Who once attended Rowdy High back in the day of "G-rated" cinema. "Ride the Wild Surf" starred Fabian, who had no last name; Shelley Fabares; Barbara Eden; Tab Hunter; Peter Brown, and Robert Mitchum's son who played "Moose." Fabian, who had no last name [ deja-vu ] played Jody, who wanted to dethrone Moose and take the title of "Best Surfer in the Land." Notice to the right of the picture is the word, "color." Meaning it wasn't made in black and white. It may come as a surprise, ( hope I'm not giving away the ending for those who want to rush out and buy it ) because Jody bests Moose, while making that one last ride; Jody conquers his inner demons; [ seems he isn't a phony, after all ] kisses Shelley and wants her to be his steady; and Jan and Dean conclude the show by singing "Deadman's Curve,' er, "Ride the Wild Smurf, er, Surf." Happy endings! Just like in real life. v.c. P.S. Shirley, you will welcome Shirley!
