Blast from the Past

I got an email from a former high school classmate, who is now living in Greece, married, and finishing medical school. She looks terrific, and has aged very well. It was odd--- she thought she remembered hanging at my apartment for a party. That never happened. I reminded her that I asked her to the prom 3 times (with the fear that she might think I was stalking her ...which could not be further from the truth.) She says she mis-remembers the party (like Roger Clemens.) But she recalls the prom thing, and she was dating a 24 year old guy while she was in high school. Today, there are laws against this stuff, but back in the 80's it was normal. I even remember all the girls that were sleeping with teachers, and passing classes with ease in high school and college, but this too was normal in the 80's and still normal on college campuses, but now illegal in a high school setting. Wow! have times changed. Imagine my surprise when she came to that prom with a guy who was 24! I was still 16! He was huge, I was in awe. What kind of a loser goes to a high school prom when he's 24? one more insight...the teacher chaperones were not really chaperones. They were drunk and having a great time. Anyway, its always weird talking to someone that turned you down when you were a kid, but alot more friendly now that life has been good to you. Beware.
