Renee was my first real girlfriend as short as it was. She has always had a special place in my heart. How young and naive we all were. My folks live just down the block from the Bedards' and I have on occation spoken to Renees' Mother and just this last summer to her sister Francine. I remember Renee as an exciting, inspiring, and warm person and I can still remember making her laugh. What a wonderful but brief moment that was.
