School stories

            Love and passing notes. When I was in my first years in school I fell in love with a most beautiful girl. I really do no remember if this was in the first, second or third grades. I do know it was the real deal. Her name was Jerri Aday. We had a wonderful letter writing romance that lasted until her parents moved away from our community. The sum total of those deep love words consisted of the words, “I love you. Do you love me?” I have no recollection of any other words that were written but we wrote those words over and over.
