The name Dominic Melfi has been in my memory since the age of 12 when I met him at summer camp in Algonquin, Il. We became friends for two weeks and corresponded briefly. We agreed to meet again the following year but then life happened….as it does.
In this age of computers I thought I would google his name to say hello. Sadly, he is gone.
He was the first boy I danced with and the first boy to hold my hand. His gentlemanly way
made a lasting impression on me and I will hold his memory dear. Karen Richmond
