My First Girlfriend

 I remember my first girlfriend. We were in first grade so we were about 5 or 6 years old. Her name was Lucy Anderson and her dad owned Andersons's Department Store in downtown Independence, Iowa. Lucy sat behind Mary who sat behind me. One day I asked Mary how to spell her name. Then I wrote a note and gave to her to pass on to Lucy that said, " Will you mary me." I honestly don't remember her response but I like to think she said yes.
