I got 2 kisses from Johnny Peller (Peller Estates Winery) at our elementary school reunion last last year…
That day I was a mess…forgot to shower, my hair iron wasn’t turned on. But I just wanted to be there for my friend who was so excited about it for a couple years leading up to the event.
I moved back to Hamilton ON from Vancouver BC the year before and she was all excited about the reunion!
She told me she still had a crush on him since grade 4.
John was a popular boy, but I liked his red-haired friend.
Him and the red-haired boy, Donald, had to check our homework for a week when my really embarrassing note (which was intercepted on its way to Barb) was read out loud at the front by the teacher .
Seems like a long time ago. Or just yesterday, not sure which.
Anyway, should have said something to him so he could “place” me. We chatted with him and his brother Jim in the auditorium (but I got my kisses in the doorway). And then we were too shy, when we came back after freaking out from touring the school and seeing how small everything was on the kindergarten side.
Barb told me later how she was so love-sick (10?) and she was walking up his long winding driveway to catch a glimpse of Johnny but he came at her like a bat out-of-hell on his bicycle to run her off his property!
hahahaha! Sorry, it was really was heart-breaking but the way she tells it is funny.
