When I was a senior in high school, she was in incoming freshman, her brother was a big bruiser and played defensive line. I was also on D at the end and line backer position, I can't remember ether's name and I should, he knocked me on my backside many times during practice
Anyhow she was a tiny thing and he was at lest 6-3 inches. ( I was 6 ft even ) He was at least 220-225 and she could not have been more than 110.
I took this when I was home in 68 as well. she was working at Burger King where I happened in for a whopper. She had graduated in 67, passed the S.A.T. but was sitting out a year. ( don't know why ) This was in the summer of 68 I think she just turned 19.

She worked at a coffee shop that I used to stop at on my way to work. She was a single mother when I met her. Don't know what the circumstances where on how she became a single mom. She was pretty closed about it. ( I am guessing it might have been a nasty divorce ) so I didn't enquirer about it. She worked there for about a year then left for a better job never saw her or her daughter after that but one of the other girls told me she went down to Texas where she had family. This was the only photo I have left. There were better ones but I am not sure where they are located. I have only gone through 1/3 rd of the negatives. On a lot of them the plastic sleeves they were put in to protect them has fused right to the negative.

There is a profuse number of places to do photo work in the area I live. They are still in heavy use today. About 20% of what I did was model work, people who wanted pictures other than family ( not porn ), but a little daring. usually took those at their homes where they were comfortable. Never kept any of those. It put jingle in the pocket. ( I was using my government benefit that I earned in the service to go to school. )
When I got a full time job I cut back on a lot and only did stuff for persons I knew. that's when I started to get into nature and wildlife photography. That's what I have been doing ever since. I enjoy that more than I did the other things. ( except for a few very close friends ).

She was a friend . I had several that I have not seen in years. She being among them. When she graduated she drifted off from the rest of us, went her own way. I often wonder about her. it has been 45 years since anyone has seen her.
For a group that was kind of close it's strange how time and distance separated us. We all have drifted off and gone our own way. Many are no longer with us .
