I married his sister Sue who passed away 8 weeks after we were married from the same illness. Am happy to make contact and chat about the good old days if you wish. I am now living in Gympie CheersFJ39https://www.blogger.com/profile/14639379338083264831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-38894825917313186652007-05-04T14:16:00.000-07:002007-05-04T14:16:00.000-07:00Yes...so bittersweet, Rel. :)Then you understand m...Yes...so bittersweet, Rel. :)<BR/><BR/>Then you understand my problems with my older brother then, Robyn...he was certainly no angel as I discovered years later when he used to tell me about the shenanigans he got up to at that time...I guess he was judging everyone else by his own cover! ;)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-70571706971656023932007-05-04T03:42:00.000-07:002007-05-04T03:42:00.000-07:00Oh boy, Lee, that took me right back almost 50 yea...Oh boy, Lee, that took me right back almost 50 years ago. My first crush was the milkboy, Dougie, who lived around the corner from me as well. Tall, dark and handsome he had my heart until I found out that he liked someone else, while he was playing with my emotions...sigh. I just wanted to die. Young love is so hard and painful, yet, looking back, so wonderful.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I had four brothers, two older and two younger. When I was allowed to go out on dates, the older two would threaten any boys with bodily harm if they did the wrong thing by me and the two youngers ones would spy on me. I had plenty of so-called girl friends who got to know me just because they wanted intros to my brothers. Such was life...Puss-in-Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313418336654760327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-13617615253489467582007-05-04T01:28:00.000-07:002007-05-04T01:28:00.000-07:00lee,Nothing....NOTHING compares with youg love!rel...lee,<BR/>Nothing....NOTHING compares with youg love!<BR/>relrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09030572981830789370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-64498427833559183402007-05-03T19:40:00.000-07:002007-05-03T19:40:00.000-07:00Rodney and I never progressed to kissing or cuddli...Rodney and I never progressed to kissing or cuddling, Sandra...our crushes were conducted from afar! lol<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't have liked your chances with my brother, Sandra! ;) Easier said than done!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-72481741335730951052007-05-03T17:36:00.000-07:002007-05-03T17:36:00.000-07:00Oh to remember good thoughts like the first kiss, ...Oh to remember good thoughts like the first kiss, first crush, first boyfriend, and all the other first.

Like our memories that weaken with time and distance, but remain to resurface or to be suppressed. <BR/><BR/>So you can look back on your life and think of what it might have been!! But a lot of water has washed under the bridge since and it has now become a nice memory, of a flame and of your dear brother who feared you would be swept out by the tide of your emotion, many moons ago. !! .

Later, he got drafted, and was killed in VietNam. I never found out what happened to her after that. <BR/><BR/>My second love was my first wife. She deserted me after I went to VietNam. I really, still to this day, cannot figure out why she would not stand by me. <BR/><BR/>My final love is a keeper, as you know Lee. She and I have built a deep and lasting bond. And friendship. And a deep and lasting enjoyment of each other. And we love Critters (snakes too Lee).<BR/><BR/>OK, I'll tell you when I have my new camera tamed an can post some pics.<BR/><BR/>Hope lunch is yummey!<BR/><BR/>I'm for bed soonly.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623619259294255298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-47549227095406879762007-05-02T17:33:00.000-07:002007-05-02T17:33:00.000-07:00Wonderful!

When Rodney and I spoke again by phone after all the intervening years, I brought the subject up. He remembered it and we had a good laugh about it. ;)<BR/><BR/>As life changes, we change with it in certain degrees and ways...and how we reacted "then" to situations, now we would act differently, no doubt.<BR/><BR/>Hi jmb...he could have ignored my brother, that is correct, but my brother was pretty hard to ignore most of the time! Anyway, I soon became a "surf chick" and my weekends were spent at the coast surfing and sunbaking. Back in Gympie during the week, my group of friends ran in different "circles" with different interests.

Then again you have had a very varied and interesting life and you may have had to sit around listening to Rodney playing drums! I am sorry that he died though.
