Love this story!! My favorite part of summer camp (mine were only a week long) was the inevitable days long romance, followed by letter writing. Fun to think of your surprise to discover that Susie was The One who wanted to sit with you!
Good question. I loved when Dennis of Dennis the Menace comic strip, in the newspapers, had a crush on Gina, I think the character’s name was, in the ‘70s. There’s a movie featuring young love (13yo’s) from 1979 that I remember being a hit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Little_Romance

Thanks Steve. Hard even now to imagine being that "romantic" thinking so young (and her at only 10!)!
Great story, Rick. Surely almost everyone has a young-love story like this, and it’s wonderful to be reminded of how magical it was.
Thanks Courtney! Romantic children---who can imagine...(where's THAT movie?)!
