SWEETHEARTS
Bill Hassinger gave his high school sweetheart, Joanne Blakkan, a silver bracelet with green gems more than seven decades ago.
They parted ways after Blakkan left for college, but she kept it in her jewellery box.
“It was just too pretty to get rid of,” said Blakkan, now 92.
It also had sentimental value. She couldn’t bring herself to part with a gift from her first love.
