Miss Norma’s Diary – August 11, 1960 – “God Norma, I don’t know what’s the matter with that guy. He keeps staring at you.”

Thursday

“Today I went Loren the street with Mommy and Marie. When we walked by Pennys, I looked down at the M.G.C and I saw Loren’s car.  So, Mommy and Marie went in Penny’s and I went to Barbara’s. When I got there I told her that Loren’s car was there and she said she knew. She said her and her dad drove by there a while ago and she said she saw a car just like Malcolm’s car parked 4 blocks from the M.G.C. So, first we walked down to the Miniature golf course to see if Loren was there but he was not. Lincoln was there. At night Ian, Mabel and I played miniature golf and Loren was there. As we were playing, Ian said to me, . . .

. . .”God Norma, I don’t know what’s the matter with that guy. He keeps staring at you.’

I said, ‘Who? The one who is working in the office?’ And Ian said, ‘Yea.’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s all right, that’s Malcolm’s brother Loren.’

Tonight Ian won five free games again and he gave them to me. After we played Miniature golf, we went to the drive-in to see ‘The Rat Race’. It was with some crappy movie. At the drive-in, Ian told me he was going to do a story on ‘surfers’ now and he wants me to find some guy to take me out on his surfboard and get some pictures. So, I told him about Loren and he said, ‘Will you talk to him about it sometime?’  . . .

. . .P.S. I just can’t make up my mind now if I really do love Malcolm.  I don’t know what goes wrong with me when I see him, I get nervous and I just think he is the most wonderful guy I’ve ever met. But then after I don’t see him for a few days, I think I like Loren much better and I’m not even nervous around Loren. Maybe when Malcolm goes to college, I will forget about him completely, but I don’t think that could ever be possible. I just don’t make up mind.

P.P.S. It was Malcolm’s car parked 4 blocks away from the Miniature golf course.”
