1971-1975 HIGH SCHOOL
My childhood crush was Lynda. She was into the Grateful Dead. I wasn’t. She was also into ceramics, I liked that. At the time I wasn’t planning to be a fine artist. I was nerdy, being groomed for a life in science. I recall, Lynda, got very sick with menigitis. By the time she got better she had a boyfriend. I was so enfatuated that I followed her to a commune when I started driving.
She always had a boyfriend, so nothing ever happened. We are still friends to this day. She moved to New Mexico and does ceramics for a living. She has one child who I have never met. For a very long time she did not embrace social media. She finally came online a couple of years ago and we are still friends.
