If the current incarnation of Ralph Edwards popped up to do a “This Is Your Life” show on me, I would want all this to be part of the script and guests:
You considered her your second-grade girlfriend, but she may never have known it: AMANDA DAVIS!
You had a fight with him at Cub Scouts, then went on to become good friends: PETE TROWBRIDGE!
You sat behind her in third grade, and she used to wear a hula-hoop like thing to make the bottom of her dress stand out: GINGER BIGGERS!
You looked down at the hand-watercolored Valentines he gave out in elementary school because they weren’t store bought, before you learned what real value is: PAUL SPOONER!
You thought you were a pretty smart guy, until she moved to town and you saw how much smarter a girl can be: CLISBY WILLIAMS!
He may be the only person other than you who actually remembers that you pitched a no-hitter and hit a home run in a Little League game, because he’s the guy who was pitching against you: DAVID WEST!
Just as your crush on her was gaining traction, she moved away: JO JO MARTINEZ!
He told you you might have been able to get a scholarship to a small college if you hadn’t quit high school football, and you’ve always wondered, How small?: COACH MIKE NELSON!
He was your “big brother” before you de-pledged your college fraternity, Delta Psi: MAC HALBROOK!
You wanted to take her picture while riding on a train somewhere in Britain, just because she was so pretty, but you were too shy to ask permission. Now you can’t even conjure up a mental picture: UNKNOWN FEMALE!
Well into an evening of drinking in Oxford, England, he invited you to go with him to a birthday party, upon which you discovered that, not only was he was crashing the party, he was also due to go to jail for assault or some such: LARRY FROM BELFAST!
He was your “big brother” before you de-pledged your college fraternity, Delta Psi: MAC HALBROOK!
