Your voice again. Just your voice. You are coming around with Walt on Friday? I wonder if that means I will not get one kiss from you? And Friday will be my birthday! I want eighteen kisses and I will be the happiest wealthiest girl on earth. Will I have even one? Just one? The worst of a double date. I wonder if you will remember that it will be my eighteenth summer.

ContextThis is the journal of Virginia Lee Scott, my grandmother, written when she was seventeen and first dating my grandfather, John Arnold Wilson. It's a dairy published by Media Drug Stores and includes space for two entries per day, with facts about the era printed at the bottom, which I have included in italics. Following, 1928, is the journal of John Arnold Wilson, my grandfather, at age nineteen and in love with my grandmother, followed by my grandmother's journal in 1931. Archives
