Notes
I still, sixty years later, very clearly picture my first peer love as a teenager -- He was so handsome, so mature looking -- I spent much time figuring out what classes he attended and what routes he took between classes so I could follow him at a distance -- I don't think I ever knew his name -- then (as I remember), he just disappeared, forever to be just a phantom memory.
