See that lovely lady in her classy sheath dress. Doesn’t she look about 23 or 24? She was, maybe, 16. Today’s teen girls dress like their younger siblings; our style was more to look like our mothers.
The event was an evening party–we called them “affairs”–given by the club I belonged to, the G.E.M.s. My date was David Stein, who I’d met at camp when I was 12. We stayed friends and he became the boy I took to all parties where I didn’t have an actual date. Which was all of them, including my Senior Prom. Thank you, Dave, for being such a good sport!
Nice to have such a good friend. Have you stayed in touch?? Do tell the rest of the story.

We have stayed in touch, Suzanne, sort of. David is the cousin of my best friend from high school, who I stay with when I’m in NY, so I hear from and about him tangentially. Then FaceBook entered our lives; his FB friends are now chiming in over the photo, including one who I haven’t heard from since high school.
