My first girlfriend, back around 9th grade. Nice redhead, great sense of humor and cute freckles. I didn't find out until later, but the reason she stopped talking to me was my mother pulled her aside and threatened to hurt her if she didn't stay away from me.
We moved before 10th grade, and I haven't seen her since 1973 (ran into her briefly when I worked in a department store -- I'd have put the moves on her but (1) she was getting married and (2) I was going out with my wife-to-be. <sigh>, she still had the looks and was fun to be with.
Haven't seen her since then, but have seen info on her on a high school reunion web site. Darlene is pushing 60, but she's married to her second husband, who's in his 30's. I wish her nothing but the best of happiness!
