Thank you, If I was cute, none of the girls in eighth grade noticed - not Isobel Flynn, Ellen Campbell, Mary whatshername, Margaret Hutchinson, or Barbara Leonard! Still, the memories are fresh and vivid after all these years. It's a poem I had to write, so thank you for your good words! Again, I loved that poem about the naturalness of falling in love. It was extraordinary.

This was magical my friend... you had me misty eyed and riveted till the end. I don't think the "ride" was a ficticious ploy... you must have been sooooo cute with your sweet first moves, girls like that , I should know :-) This was masterfully done and well written I truly enjoyed it.
