Jack Smith said in a message to Lawrence Garvin:
 JW>> Also did SK write that short story made into a move entitled 
 JW>> "Stand by Me?" About the kids finding a body. I liked that one.
 LG> This one I don't know about.
 JS> "Stand By Me" is "The Body" in the "Different Seasons" collection. 
 JS> IMO, both stories are great as are both movies.
I thought the plot sounded familiar, but I had no personal knowledge. I do 
recall the story, but have not seen the movie.
