“I
saw her and I thought, ‘She’s pretty cute,’” reminisced Al Macys of the Philadelphia hayride in 1949 that had him asking a pretty brunette for a turn on the dance floor. “He asked me to dance and I remembered it because he did not step on my feet,” laughed Helen. “Most of the other guys, the younger guys, when you danced with them they would step on my feet.” Al and Helen are 14-year residents of El Dorado Hills’ Four Seasons community.

I was a little irked.” “Who wants carnations?” Al shrugged. “She wanted the carnation because of the gown she was wearing. When I came in with this white orchid, she was irked because it didn’t go with what she was wearing.”
Al goes on to describe, in detail, Helen’s pink dress, which floors her. “Oh my gosh, you remember it?” exclaimed Helen. “Damn right I do,” replied Al. “She didn’t like me because of my looks; she liked me because of my feet. It took me a while to ■
