   I suppose it would be more in the spirit of a "Happy Anniversary" to *also*   
   recall my impression(s) at first seeing Gina:  I was stepping out of the right   
   rear passenger door of a friend's mother's car, in the parking area of Jack   
   Deere Field, located    
   within Sam Davis Park, in Pulaski, Tennessee.   
      
   It was the night of Gina's high school graduation commencement exercise (for   
   the GCHS Class of '81.)   
      
   As I was exiting the car, my head / gaze was swiveling from the far right   
   ("behind me") towards the straight ahead (straight out of the right side of   
   the car) towards the left (ahead of the car, which was the direction of travel   
   to get to the field where    
   the exercise was being held.)   
      
   A short distance away, towards the "right rear of the car" (to my right, as I   
   started the head swing) I saw a *FLASH!* of purple light, as if like   
   lightning, and that was enough to *catch* my attention to the point of   
   noticing Gina, having stepped out of    
   her mother's car (from what must've been the left rear passenger seat?  Either   
   that, or she'd walked ahead of another car that was already parked, which is   
   more likely) and I can only imagine that she must've been looking in my   
   direction at some moment,    
   or perhaps I'd stepped "in front of" the direction of her gaze.   
      
   Either way, much, *MUCH* history proceeds from that point.   
      
   Just sayin', she became *the* central focus of my thoughts from that point   
   forward.  It's been "quite a journey" to get from my brain to my heart, but   
   it's been exceptionally memorable, to say the least!   
      
   Happy Anniversary, Gina ❤️
