Dear Alice and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I went to grade school with Richard. He was my first boyfriend. Diane Hyatt and I both liked him, and somehow, I'm not sure how, he was collecting a nickel from us each week so he could be our boyfriend. We were both going to marry him when we grew up. One day I asked my Mom for a nickel, and she wanted to know why I needed it. I said, "So I can pay Richard." She asked why I needed to pay Richard, and I said, "So he will keep being my boyfriend." Needless to say, that stopped that. He was the cutest boy in our class. I have many fond memories of that time in our lives. Sharon (Percival) Current
