Body:	<i>In 1969 my favorite music was anything by the Beatles (in the early years, Hard Day's night, She Loves You) The Beach Boys & Glen Campbell (Gently On My Mind). I also remember seeing the 'death totals' from the Viet Nam war every night on TV. While at THS, I had a cheer sponsor (Not Mrs. DeVinny) ask me if I had 'gained weight' over the summer. I had, but this comment devastated me. I then wrestled with 'body image' for probably half my life, believing if I wasn't thin, I had no value. Thankfully, I have overcome that lie, with great support, professional help & my faith. As a student at ASU, I felt lost after coming from the cocoon of THS & I lived at home. Eddie Grant & I had dated off & on throughout HS. He went to UofA & I wanted to date some college boys & go to the football games, so we 'broke up'. I dated several guys my freshman year, then realized how much I loved Eddie. We were engaged at 19yrs. & married at 21yrs. We've been married 41.5yrs. My kids get a kick out of the prayer I prayed in high school for some of the guys I dated, 'God bless Rudy, Scooter, Peter, Stretch, Tim, Eddie, John, Paul, Tom & Tom'. If you think you're names in there, they probably are! My sister told me years later, that Stretch was a biker! I swear I didn't know that even though he showed up on a Harley. I even remember burning my leg on the muffler...Hello! I remember also Tom Whately coming to pick me up one afternoon to go to the Lake. He came to the door with no shirt on. My Dad answered & told him to go put one on before he let me go. I enjoyed such innocent dating at THS. I could go out with one guy on Friday night & another on Saturday & you weren't cheating. I never kissed a boy until the 3rd date either. I was so innocent, naive & fearful of disappointing my parents so I pretty much, kept my nose clean. </i> *
