Michael Gill! He was one of my boyfriends at Ridglea West Elementary. A lot of us had necklaces with a large disk that had one's name on it. If we were going steady with someone, we exchanged necklaces, until the break up.
In elementary school I wrote a sweet poem about him (and his pretty green eyes) and mailed it to his home, from a different town. I didn't sign it or use my return address. I had not expected his mother would look at the town postmark and immediately tell Mike it was probably from me. The poem was a good one as I recall but, I was very embarrassed.

He loved to be with friends and share in the joy of the moment.
