Summer of Love: 40 years later, Vermonters reflect on 1967

For Jane Pincus of Roxbury, the most indelible recollection is of a young man standing on his head in a yoga position as the morning mist cloaked San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. That silent moment was in vivid contrast with kinetic Haight-Ashbury, the counterculture mecca where she lived for about three weeks in June with her filmmaker husband Ed and their toddler daughter Sami.
