My Most Memorable Valentine’s Day Was
My most memorable Valentine’s Day was definitely when I was in 6th grade in elementary school. Like most kids 50-ish years ago, we had the requisite class party.

The very first thing I bought with my own money was… A John Denver's Greatest Hits album at Recordland in one of the malls in town (far out). I LOVE him and miss hearing new stuff from him.
