Guy sounds very special Andrea. I remember reading several verses where he is the subject. Truly a first love is very special. You have written with the delicacy of memory. Congratulations on your win! Blessings!

Untainted, unacquainted. So far back in memory. The truth of what is never known is for no one to see. But deep there in your heart of hearts dear Andrea. A beautiful picture you have painted.

I don't think so, S.O. I can't even figure out how to track him down. He is from Quebec.
