Dear Miss Madigan,
For some time now, I have been admiring your beautiful red hair from a distance. I have noticed recently that you have it trimmed somewhat shorter. Hair like yours should be let grow until it sweeps the streets. Would that I could run my fingers through your lovely locks. It would be worth much to me and it would profit you some also. If you are at all interested meet me in front of the Valley Inn, this Wednesday night between 10:00-10:15 P.M. In any event, please do not have your hair cut again.
Really, except for our father's concluding that the writer was an adult, no one paid much attention. Pretty creepy since she was only 16 at the time. I remember she and Sandy went down to the assignation, but nothing transpired. I'm sure they were laughing and giggling like crazy. Remember those days when everybody we cared about was alive, and we could laugh at just about everything.
