My dearest Dave......
While playing Spin the Bottle with our fellow skaters in 1958, you were my first kiss. You were also my first partner in dance skating in the juvenile division when we were 10 years old. We "wowed" them in competition, even though I was taller than you at the time. After we graduated from North Thurston, I had hoped that you would join the reunions, but unfortunately we lost touch. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Bonnie (Van Scyoc) Pratt
