Local love story for Valentine’s Day

This is the story of high school sweethearts, Priscilla and Jimmy, who met in his junior year and her sophomore year, at Hartford Public High School. A mutual friend set up a blind date to go to a drive-in movie in 1968. They continued to go out for the next five years and were married on June 9, 1973. We bought a house in Granby in December 1973, where I still live today!
