Editorial: My First May Fair ‘Date’ [PHOTOS]
|
It was Eric Rehnberg who crossed over most successfully in third grade, our first year at East School. They’d closed Center School after the 1982-83 academic year, and our friend group got separated in the redistricting, never to fully re-form. Eric and I ended up at East, along with Alex Carles, Kristen Gannalo, David Palmer, Linda Pierson, Christina Mullin and Jenny Rubinfeld. Somehow that first year at East, Eric found the courage to ask the cutest girl in our class, a new face to us Center Schoolers—Joanna Avgerinos—to May Fair, and she said yes. I was in awe.
