Blast from the Past...1982

October 23, 1982...that was our first date. It was the fall semi-formal at Paul's school. Paul met Michele at the Christain Youth Organization (CYO) at our church. Paul was smitten at first sight. Finally, Paul developed enough courage to ask Michele on a date. Well, it took him 45 minutes on the phone to finally ask her. And Michele promptly took two weeks to decide!

24 years ago! Back then Michele was 14 and Paul was 15.

Notice how Paul knows how to put the moves on...
...could we stand any further apart...
...and be in the same pic?

Bad Camera angle, but at least Paul closed the physical gap!
(anybody recognize which Robert Wood painting is behind us?)

This was a picture taken by Cyndy Manglapus at the dance...
...with one of those Kodak Disc cameras...
...(remember those?)...
...Paul likes to think his arm was around Michele...
...but he didn't even get to hold hands that night!
