Roberta and I were in 5th and 6th grade together
at Hortt Elementary School. She was
blonde,
very good looking and I had a tremendous crush on her!
I remember one Saturday night when we were in
6th grade, we both happened to be at the Starlight
Skating Rink. She came
over to me and
asked if I would skate with her. We held
hands and skated endlessly around the rink
to music coming from the loudspeakers. As a
young lad, this was one of the greatest things that
ever happened to me!
After grade school, Roberta went to Parkway Jr.
High and I went to New River. I would see
her on occasion at basketball games and other
events. We always sought each other out to
say hello. We never had any classes
together at Stranahan but remained friends
throughout.
Roberta was a baton twirler with amazing skill
and dexterity. I remember her performance at our 6th grade graduation exercise
in the Hortt School cafetorium. She also
performed at many junior
high and high school events. An
exceptional talent! |
