They Shot it Close to Home

I was in junior high when the film crew came to town. They actually shot in the next town down the road and a few other communities in the area. When I saw the film, I was too busy looking at the locations, matching them up with my knowledge of local geography. The VW in the film belonged to the older brother of a classmate. All the kids were buzzing about the romantic scene shot in the Vernon Center Cemetery. My classmate, Gene, used to mow the grass. Years later, well after the film was shot, I went drinking in the bar, The Golden Horseshoe, where some scenes were filmed. Someday I must rent the DVD to actually watch the film for something more than just the locations.
