Thanks Patricia!
You were a beautiful girl at Portsmouth High School (46-50) and I was probably, honestly, too shy to even flirt with you. Gwila P. Fisher or Carl Clark wouldn't believe that. That Ted Truitt, who married our beautiful classmate, Anne was aware of you according to one of the pool pictures you sent. He is a fox and also he and Ann are still good friends.
You have sent me some beautiful e-mails and that speaks well of your accumulated taste throughout your life.
Thanks good friend and Go Trojans!
Sam
