Summer of Love 40yrs Later

Woodstock concert's undercover lovers, Nick and Bobbi Ercoline, 40 years after summer of love

Love in 1969: Nick and Bobbi Ercoline were immortalized on the cover of the original 'Woodstock' album in 1970, as well as on the movie poster.

Of all the images snapped during the original Woodstock weekend, one stands above all: a young couple huddled together in a blanket, standing alone in a sea of people lying on wet ground.

It's an enduring image of love, care and protection that earned iconic status through its placement on the cover of the original "Woodstock" album in 1970, as well as on the movie poster.

Forty years later, the couple in the photo - Nick and Bobbi Ercoline, both 60 - remain together. They married two summers after the fabled weekend, and they still live less than an hour's drive from the original concert site of Bethel, N.Y., and within spitting distance of where they both grew up....>>>>Rest Here

And still going strong in 2009 - the couple, now both age 60, reprise their iconic pose nearly 40 years later.
