I enjoyed the “Woodstuck” article (Sept. 14) very much! Not only was it a fun read, but it brought back lots of memories. In the summer of '69, I was waitressing in the Poconos. The then love-of-my-life and I toyed with going to Woodstock, trying to figure out not only how we'd get time off but how we'd get there without a car! Good thing we didn't make it.
