Punk rocker that I was, I also was too cool for prom, Long Island circa 1984. I went to see the Violent Femmes at Danceteria instead. Your writing brought back some fond memories. Thank you!
This is really lovely and when I looked at that prom photo, it was a direct trip back to my own time in high school...as my prom was in 1980. I had a white dress almost identical to Ruth's. Thanks for the memories.
Great story Mike👌🏽
Whenever I can find an M. Gonzales article/story - I’m all in👊🏽
thank you...
Great story Mike, as usual.

Thank you Fran…xoxo
You are so brave! I would be too embarassed to write about my”prom” night. Life lessons.
Thank you for reading. That prom story is funny to me now, but it was humorous back then.
I still love you. Reading that made me smile. I love to read your writing always have and always will.
Right on Mike G!!!✊🏾🖌
Mike, another great essay!

Beautiful! How wonderful that you reconnected with Ruth and her memory of you and that wonderful night.
Wonderful essay! I wish I had your writing ability, Michael.
