Did you have a teenage BF/GF that you still think fondly of today? Do you know anything about their life currently? The closest that I can come to this is the first girl that I was interested in during the summer of 1972. I was 15 years old and she was just about 13. She was very mature for age. On two occasions we were both walking around camp singing in the same songs coincidentally, Joe Mitchell's Circle Game and Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven. For a while we talked quite a bit. Then we selected the same offsite trip, to Quintes Island, Ontario, Canada. We rode in the back of a truck and I was constantly swatting flies. Being a vegan, she was disgusted with this. I do know something about what she's doing. She has a bohemian lifestyle and lives in Vermont. Very different from mine. I know that she divorced once. She would not have been for me long term but it was fun while it lasted
