I made the two-hour trip to Albuquerque to pick her up at the airport. In those pre-9/11 days there were no restrictions on who could go through the security checkpoints at airports, so I was able to meet her at the gate.
I spotted her the second she emerged from the jet way. I had seen her picture, so I knew who to look for, but I think I could have picked her out of the crowd even If I hadn’t known what she looked like. I felt we had so much in common and had such a wonderful friendship already. Even though I already knew she was very attractive, when I finally saw her in the flesh I could hardly believe how beautiful she was.

I wasn’t in an especially happy mood after the results of the days’ games, and I got even more depressed while I told Krickitt about my mother, who was going through a serious illness. Yet for some reason I opened up to Krickitt in a way I never had with anyone else. l was amazed that she understood me and sympathized with me in a way I’d never felt before, and I knew then that this was something special.
