City: Dade County
State: FL
Doug was a beautiful boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was my first crush (4th grade), the first boy who took me to a dance, and the first boy that I kissed (6th grade). Sadly, he died young, but I will always remember him with fondness.
Like many of my elementary school mates, I had a huge crush on Doug-- used to meet at the park where we flirted and kissed (my first)! He was just as sweet as he was beautiful!! I have lots of fond memories of Doug Linden!
I remember like it was yesterday. Sue was so googly eyed. We went wherever she thought he might be and we went to his little league games. I liked the way he danced. And I loved the wonderful boy he was. And he was Alan Ladd personified.
I will never forget when he died, so sad and such a terrible accident. I sat with his Mom several times, and wondered how she would survive this horrible fate she had been dealt. He was one handsome and sweet guy!
Doug certainly was good looking and he appears to have had an eye for the girls, as he was the first kiss for several of us! I only wish he could know how unforgetable he was.
