Sherrod Vaughn. Had there ever been a more melodious name? Not to my ears! I was reading the Newport News Daily Press <\/em>over breakfast when I came across an article about a graduating senior at Ohio State University\u2014a senior named Sherrod Vaughn. I had to know more!<\/p>\n

According to the article, Sherrod was coming back home to Virginia for the summer to teach a life-saving course at one of our country clubs. A lifeguard! How brave!<\/p>\n

I was a graduating senior too, but in high school. Sitting at my desk in math class that morning, I barely heard a word the teacher said. I looked studi\u00adous enough, writing in my notebook. But instead of taking notes, I was doodling hearts and spinning a fancy about the boy with the dreamy name.<\/p>\n

Someday, somehow I would share it with him. Mrs. Sherrod Vaughn. <\/em>I liked the sound of that even better, and doodled my way into summer vacation.<\/p>\n

One balmy evening I relaxed on the porch swing, reading a book that was interesting enough to dis\u00adtract me from my romantic notions. My brother-in-law, Chet, bounded up to the porch. \u201cMyrtle,\u201d he said, \u201chow would you like a blind date tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, thanks,\u201d I said. \u201cI\u2019d rather finish my book.\u201d Besides, my heart was already taken. I dropped my eyes back to the page and gave the swing a little push. Chet sighed. \u201cToo bad,\u201d he said. \u201cI met a fellow in my life-saving class today. I got the feeling you\u2019d like him.\u201d<\/p>\n

I put my foot down and stopped the swing. \u201cLife-saving class?\u201d I said. \u201cWhat\u2019s this fellow\u2019s name?\u201d<\/p>\n

Chet frowned. \u201cIt\u2019s a strange name,\u201d he said. \u201cSherwood, I think. No! Sherrod. That\u2019s it. Sherrod Vaughn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Could Chet have seen my notebook? \u201cAre you teasing me, Chet?\u201d<\/p>\n

Chet looked genuinely confused. \u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n

I dropped my book to the floor and raced up the stairs. \u201cI\u2019ll be ready in thirty minutes!\u201d I called over my shoulder.<\/p>\n

Half an hour later a black Lincoln pulled up. I held my breath, watching from my bedroom window as Sherrod Vaughn stepped out. He was tall\u2014over six feet\u2014dressed in gray flannel slacks and a maroon Ohio State sweater. He\u2019s as handsome as his name. <\/em>I flew down the stairs.<\/p>\n

Sherrod stared at me, speechless, when I opened the door and introduced myself. Does he know my secret? <\/em>I worried.<\/p>\n

We went to a movie, then to a drive-in restaurant. He was a perfect gentleman, but it seemed something was on his mind. When the food arrived, Sherrod took a deep breath. \u201cBefore we take anything off this tray,\u201d he said, \u201cI simply must tell you something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh, dear, this is all a big joke! And Chet\u2019s in on it!<\/em><\/p>\n

Sherrod reached into his pocket for his wallet. \u201cWhile I was home for spring break, I saw this pic\u00adture in the paper and cut it out. I\u2019ve carried it with me ever since.\u201d It was my senior photo from the Newport News Daily Press<\/em>. Why would Sherrod keep it in his wallet?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe minute I saw this picture I made up my mind we would meet someday,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know it would be tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two years later, our names again appeared in the paper\u2014this time together. The wedding announce\u00adment of Mr. and Mrs. Sherrod Vaughn.<\/p>\n
