A Meeting
For some time now we have been foreshadowing a certain meeting. It seems that it was about this time that it happened.
Mary McLaughlin:
One night I was reading a paper after one of our dances and a tall good-looking blond man came up and hit the paper. This was my introduction to John Skinner. I had noticed him watching me for some time. I danced with him at the dance we had a couple of days later. I remember that we talked about two movies - Casablanca and Random Harvest. I liked the first and he liked the second.
