I was in college and worked part time for a company called Retail Credit Company, which is now called Equafax. A lady there was going back home to England for a visit and asked me to return a book for her, said I might like to read it, the name, Jaws, a book about a shark she said. So I did, very exciting book, and I tried to tell everybody about it, with most responses being "Well, okay".
Three months later the movie came out and was the talk of the town for quite a while. I saw it several times, my favorite scene was when Dryafus swims up the hole in the boat side underwater and the head pops up. I would watch the audiences reaction and actually saw folks get up and run up the aisle towards the door....ha ha....good memories .....
