Scott was the first boy who ever proposed to me. We were in 6th grade in Mrs. Keenan's class at Franklin School. He wrote his tender marriage proposal on a sheet of his mother's rose-scented stationary. I'm pretty sure I accepted but you know how hearts change in the very young! He was such a funny character back in those days. I'm not sure what happened to rile up his demons but apparently something did. Sad.
