Found Another Crush

In my last post about Valentine's Day, I wrote about three crushes I had in grammar school and how one of them brought me my first Valentine's Day gift. I mentioned that I had liked one boy, Allen, the best. He was a wiz in science and math. He always won the science fair awards from third-grade one. He was one of the people I competed with for top grades in out class. I had heard from my mother many years ago that he had dropped out of college and was writing poetry and novels.

Imagine my surprise when he found me on FaceBook a couple of weeks ago! We have been corresponding by email for the past few weeks and seem to have an easy time "talking" to each other about the past and what we are doing today. He lives in New York City and does indeed write poetry and novels and also does voice-overs for PSAs and commericials, and and also works at a radio station. He has a 21-year-old son and has been married and divorced. He changed the spelling of his name to Alen Pol Kobryn, from Allen Paul Kobryn, and you can even find out about him in Wikipedia. He is very much as I remember him, and I enjoy writing to him.

Funny how people pop into and out of your life all through the years.
