It was in 1958 when Dennis set eyes on Karen, she was just 13 years old, and he was 15. First love is a very powerful feeling. Dennis was so attracted to Karen. But she was so shy and fragile, he didn’t immediately act on his feelings for fear that he might scare her away. After all, they were so young, and this was in the late 1950s, people were much more conservative then. Eventually by 1960, they became high school sweethearts. But it was like 2 opposites attracting each other. Little did they know what was in store for them.
