INFATUATION

Billy and I met when I was 15 and he was 19. I was a sophomore at Bellaire HS in Bellaire, Texas. Billy was a Sophomore at Texas A&M. Everyone knew him because Bellaire won the State baseball title for several years and he was a key player. My friend, Sandy's sister Susan was Billy's good friend and her dad helped coach him in Little League. So when I was at her house and she introduced him to me, I was star struck. He didn't pay alot of attention to me, but I filed it away as"someday he is going to notice me".
The next year I went with Sandy to the State Tournament and I road in the back seat with, guess who, the famous Billy Crain. We talked and I flirted, so when we got back, he asked me to go to a movie. " This is it, I thought" I was right, Billy started writing me from school. I couldn't wait to get home from school and get his letters. I kept those letters in a suitcase in my closet for 45 years. I read them the other night and cried myself to sleep. To make a long story short. I went to school at TCU and we continued writing and dating. I loved following his baseball career and I loved being loved by him. The letters kept coming.
