Susan: Love Is -- My mother and father ... My brothers Bill, Bob, Barry, John, Paul and Dick ... Our dog "Curly" and my very own tiny black poodle "Subar" ... Being in Newport - especially with my family ... A birthday party ... And most of all, I think love is happiness!

John: Love Is - Newport, Rhode Island - our real home ... Playing with my best friend, Tony ... Mom and Dad ... A strawberry ice cream soda ... singing Red Roses For a Blue Lady - my favorite song ... Learning all I can ... Seeing a cool movie with my brothers ... A high diving board ... Lobster for dinner ... A Walt Disney movie ... Being happy and knowing I'm loved ... Meeting new people - in other words, YOU!!

Barry: Love Is - Being with my family ... Going fishing with Dad ... Having a cute girl wink at me ... Feeling better after feeling hurt ... A chocolate sundae after being on a diet ... Football and basketball ... Being honest, no matter what it cost ... People telling me I'm a good bass player - and Dad agreeing with them ... A sunny day ... Singing and listening to music ... Being free ... Helping people less fortunate than me ... Flyin' high in an airplane ... Having friends who like me cos I'm me ... Reading your letters - and 16 Magazine!

Paul: Love Is - A blonde, redhead and brunette ... A turtle named "Oedipus" ... Laughter ... All the cool things in the world ... Getting good grades at school ... Coming home after being away ... The end of all prejudices in the world ... Being happy inside ... Keeping out of trouble ... Groovy new clothes from Carnaby Street - and getting back to London ... Little old Italian ladies kissing me ... A standing ovation ... Mom's tears when I am hurt ... Giving as well as receiving.

Bob: Love Is - Love is all around us, up and underground ... It may sometimes disguise itself, but it always can be found ... Well, some love hides in opposites, like war and hospitals ... It's just a different kind of love, than found in gum and popsicles ... But "colloquial" love is you and me, and coming home each day ... To a family eating roastbeef dinner, inviting all to stay ... Love is having a pal in life, that one we can call "Friend" ... "Someone who feels sad when you're feeling down," sticks with you through to the end ... Well, love is you and all you do, for people a lot like me ... And, oh, we do appreciate it - it's beautiful, groovy and free !!

Bill: Love Is - What is love? Love is what? Love is where, how and when? Love is everything - and nothing. It is everything because without it, we do not live - we merely exist! It is nothing in the sense that we cannot physically see it. That is - it has no material substance to it. Love has no visual or audible qualities itself. Love can be sensed through these different mediums: Love is never alone - it comes in pairs or groups! When speaking of love, there is no such thing as a "lover" without a "receiver." But, what is love to me? It is not the same as it is to you, because love is unique. Everyone's "love" is different! Today, for me, love is a soft spring breeze.
