Kim and I met at church and she and I had a great relationship / friendship. It was a few months after my ill-fated approach with Paula and the Homecoming Dance. In 1976, I was “going steady” with Kim Hutchison. It was a challenge that I still find myself in every year, finding a present for my best girl. I was faced with the first yuletide challenge of my lifetime. “That’s really helpful, idiot!!” I shot back at Bryan. “Ah, well…” Bryan teasing said, “I’d want you to hold me, and I’d want you to whisper in my ear and tell me that you love me… and, I think that would be present enough.” If you were Kim,” I ask… “what would you want from me?” “Listen, are you gonna help me or not?” I asked. “Yeah, but the chicks love him,” Bryan said, still trying to convince me. I was testing and pushing the limits of my musical tastes. ![]() KISS, Aerosmith, Bachman-Turner Overdrive and Bad Company were all the rage, and I was doing my best to cover up any like of disco, John Denver, the Bay City Rollers, and Elton John to my friends. I was trying to keep up with the changing musical tastes of all my friends. I was just not into him, or at least I was not going to let anyone know that I could have been. “I’m not buying her an Elton John album,” I retorted. Elton John’s got a new album out,” Bryan said. I had no way of getting there and I was sure I could buy anything I would ever need uptown in Oak Harbor. The Woodville Mall (one of the first shopping malls in Ohio) was a mere 15 miles away, but it could have been a million miles away as far as I was concerned. Thomas 5 and 10 store was about as close to a mall I was ever going to get to on my own.
