...Remember Me(?) *smile*
Marching band '92-93. Was horribly irresponsible w/my trombone (including once purposefully dropping it between the bleachers during a game). Worst left-turn-flash, possibly ever.
I remember you, Nat. I remember staring at your eyelashes whenever you spoke. That you were a whole foot taller, and had a way of looking down at me w/out looking down on me. You always wore an easy grin and gave strong hugs.
Peter Manista said something to you once and you didn't smile for the rest of the day. My crush on him went stone cold.
We got on the subject of names. I told you I thought yours had a nice ring to it; it was jazzy. I think I asked if you were named after Nat King Cole. You laughed kindly. You were curious as to if I was planning on having any sons and was just fishing for names. I said no, not at the moment; it depended on how busy you were. Your mouth opened. I don't think anything came out.
I dropped band to flee marching, moved on to Shaker (regretably). Since then, I've wondered about you off and on. I suppose today is "on."
I hope this note finds you well. It will definitely find you considerbaly warmer than I am (it's a balmy 23 degrees over here).
If this is the end, please take care. If is the beginning, I'll talk you soon.
Later.
