30 years ago today I received my first teenage kiss from the one and only, Eric Faulkner. I had won a contest to meet and have dinner with the Rollers through WFIL radio station in the Philadelphia area. It was 50 winners (and we were allowed to bring a friend). While dinner really consisted of a buffet (and not "with" the Rollers), after dinner they met the fans, took gifts and spent time with us. It was the height of Rollermania here and somehow I was lucky enough to win a chance to meet them.

I drew a picture of Eric, presented it to him and he made a fuss about it because he is a very nice person. The picture was not that great ... trust me. He thanked me and asked me if I wanted a kiss. All I could say, with an emphatic tone, was "Unh Huh". He kissed me gently and I started to cry. I turned around to the audience and said, "He kissed me" and started to sob. He and the rest of the Rollers went, "Ahhh, isn't that sweet" but not in a nasty way but a kind way.

It is a memory I have always cherished. Not a bad way to have a first kiss, ey?

[> Subject: It was a kiss on the lips. I didn't wet my lips for 2 days -- which is pretty hard when you eat Cheerios for breakfast. LOL. I know I posted on the Eric yahoo group when I belonged to that. It is just that it was 30 years ago. Where does the time go? I'd like one of those kisses now, please!!
