Jack L Seal (1954)
Diane was my first love. We met at the South Pasadena/San Marino Jr. High while in the 9th grade in 1950. We went steady during that year and the following year when we were sophomores at South Pasadena/San Marino High School. We were inseperable during those two years. I was devastated when we broke up in June 1952. Diane was a beautiful person and we had lots of fun together. I had always hoped we would get back together, but it didn't happen. I last saw her at our 45th class reunion in 1999.. I will never forget her and sincerely hope she now rests in peace.
