First Date 1969

 

Mark Ramsey was my first boyfriend. He gave me his I.D. bracelet and took me on my first date, chaperoned by his parents, 8^th grade, to the First Baptist sweetheart banquet. His parents were in the car waiting for us. I wore the formal that was made for me to be the flower girl in my brother's wedding. I shifted away from Mark as we entered high school, yet he never really went away. He always made himself available should I ever break up with a steady boyfriend. I do have to say that we had some really fun times after I went to college. I would come home after the 1st summer semester, and I dated him some then, but never committed. I didn’t want to be tied down, but he would have been eager to establish a relationship. He was a great guy!
