9.5.10 Jaime and AJ

Bar Harbor, Maine

It began in the summer of 1999, AJ and the boys were cruising around Bar Harbor checking the scene for friends and “summer girls.” At this same time Jaime and her girlfriend cruised Bar Harbor checking the scene for “summer boys.” Well she found a local one… One passing glance turned into a game of catching up with the other and when they finally met up on the town pier, AJ peered out of the side of his SUV down at Jaime in her red sports car and said hello.

The thought of the girl in the red sports car danced in his head and wondered why he had never seen her again.

Shopping turned into an hour or more of hanging with friends and catching up on the summer. Unbeknownst to AJ, the girl in the red sports car was writing a note to leave on his windshield. AJ strolled out of the union with books in tow and saw the piece of paper on the windshield, not giving it much thought until he opened it and began to read it: “Hey R-Baron, do you remember the girl in the red sports car? Give me a call!” The words filled his mind with amazement and excitement. No way! Does she go to RWU too?! That night he called her…
